ADFA to Hold
Regional Housing Workshops

The Arkansas Development Finance Authority (ADFA) is preparing to hold a series of housing workshops across the state of Arkansas. These workshops are an opportunity for interested persons to learn more about ADFA’s housing programs and even receive technical assistance.

Quality of life for most Arkansans revolves around the home. Attempting to meet the ever-increasing demand for affordable housing is a challenge that is as important to Arkansas as a healthy diversified economy and full employment.
