Community Funding and Survey

In preparation for its FY2023 Annual Action Plan, the City of North Little Rock plans to apply for two categories of funding from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) for FY2023: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) & Home Investment Partnership (HOME) funds. These funds are intended to primarily assist & benefit low to moderate income persons.

The City will hold three community-wide public hearings to address housing & community development needs for the Annual Action Plan. All interested citizens are encouraged & invited to attend & participate in the public hearings--citizens may also complete the Community Needs Survey online at http://www.nlr.ar.gov/communitydevelopment

Contact Bailey Noland (501-340-5342 or [email protected]) at least 72 hours prior to the meeting date if any of these accommodations are needed. Dial 711 for Arkansas Relay.
