Chairman Hill Calls for Federal Investigation into Mismanagement at Little Rock Housing Authority
Washington,
June 3, 2025
Today, House Committee on Financial Services Chairman French Hill (AR-02) sent a letter to Acting Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Stephen Begg, addressing the continued troubled operations with the Housing Authority of the City of Little Rock, also known as the Metropolitan Housing Alliance (MHA). In the letter, Chairman Hill wrote, “After years of broken promises, shameful mismanagement, and questionable expenditures – including multiple Corrective Action Plan findings by HUD and a Federal law enforcement raid – it is clear that MHA has lost both my and the public’s trust. I have sent several letters seeking to understand how this situation has been allowed to degrade so appallingly without any actionable response. Something has to change as it is obvious that recovery is no longer a feasible option going forward. Thus, I am requesting that your office launch an investigation as to how MHA and CAHC were allowed to operate so irresponsibly for so long.”
