U.S. House Committee on Financial Services Chairman French Hill sent a letter to the Acting Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Stephen Begg, requesting a federal investigation into the Housing Authority of the City of Little Rock, also known as the Metropolitan Housing Alliance (MHA). The letter cites longstanding operational problems, including “questionable expenditures,” multiple HUD Corrective Action Plan findings, and a federal law enforcement raid. Hill said prior inquiries had not produced “actionable response” and asked the Inspector General to examine how MHA and CAHC were allowed to operate “so irresponsibly for so long,” arguing that recovery is no longer a feasible option.
