Affordable Housing
The University District Development Corporation will strengthen University District neighborhoods and improve the quality of life in the University District.
Owning a home is a goal for many Arkansans. UDDC operates an affordable housing program that helps individuals become a homeowner, while at the same time securing a personal and financial asset. We believe that anyone making a decent wage or salary should not be priced out of homeownership. Presently, potential buyers have the option to purchase a home through our first time homebuyer or market rate programs. Both programs offer homes in the University District that are safe, decent, and affordable.
