The Housing Crisis in Northwest Arkansas

Hardworking families should be able to afford a home—but for many, that dream is slipping away. Housing costs are rising faster than wages, leaving families struggling to keep up. Without action, Northwest Arkansas’ housing shortage will continue to put financial security out of reach.

Northwest Arkansas is facing an affordability crisis. 
Here’s what that looks like —and why it matters:

  • Community partnerships: We value connection and collaboration that address the housing crisis in a meaningful way and create a positive community impact.
  • Upward mobility: We provide support services designed to equip individuals with the education, tools and resources needed to advance and enhance their quality of life.
  • Housing opportunities: We create mixed-income neighborhoods and housing opportunities that empower communities and foster sustainable living.

Through resources, education, and advocacy, we help individuals strengthen their financial foundation—opening pathways to homeownership and long-term stability.
