The ambitious mission of the Housing Northwest Arkansas Initiative “is to educate the community about construction, financing, and social justice,” said Peter MacKeith, dean of the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design at the University of Arkansas. Supported by a $250,000 grant from the Walton Family Foundation, it seeks to address the lack of affordable housing in the fast-growing region for residents and newcomers at all levels of income.
