LITTLE ROCK HOUSING AUTHORITY (LRHA/MHA) RESOURCES Reviewed 2026-09-25. Official Residents page: https://lrhousing.org/residents/ Apply/current program portal: https://housing.lrhousing.org/ WAITLIST STATUS LRHA says the HCV waitlist is currently closed. The listed communities maintain separate waitlists and application processes; check the official portal and Residents page for updates. CRIMINAL-RECORD GUIDANCE The LRHA housing-program FAQ answers “Can I Have a Criminal Record?” with “Yes, but MHA has established guidelines to determine the eligibility of applicants who may have a previous criminal record.” This is authority program guidance only and does not confirm approval or acceptance at any individual property. THREE ADDRESS-CORROBORATED COMMUNITY RECORDS - Jesse Powell Towers: 1010 Wolfe Street, Little Rock, AR 72202 - Cumberland Towers: 311 E. 8th Street, Little Rock, AR 72202 - Madison Heights Apartments: 1401 Madison Street, Little Rock, AR 72204 ZIP-code conflict: LRHA's application instruction gives 1010 Wolfe Street, Little Rock, AR 72201, while Pulaski County assessor property records give the Jesse Powell Towers site as 1010 Wolfe, Little Rock, AR 72202 (https://www.arcountydata.com/parcel.asp?County=Pulaski&ParcelID=34L0480006000). The City planning record confirms the site at 1010 Wolfe Street but does not state a ZIP (https://www.littlerock.gov/city-administration/board-of-directors/meeting-agenda/AGENDA%20-%20WEB%20-%208-7-2018/Write-Up%20for%20Z-4336-TT.pdf). The listing uses 72202 as the assessor's property-address ZIP; confirm with LRHA before relying on mailing/application directions. Madison Heights evidence: the LRHA Residents page and voucher table list 1401 Madison Street, Little Rock, AR 72204; the LRHA 2025 roofing bid for Madison Heights I and II confirms that location (https://lrhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IFB-Fortified-Roofing-Service-and-Installation-202512R.pdf). Cumberland Towers is independently corroborated at 311 E 8th St by https://www.apartments.com/cumberland-towers-little-rock-ar/, whose page says it is not currently advertising. The Residents page's Available Voucher Units table includes 2022-dated and undated entries. None are imported and none are represented as available now. Shared apply-at addresses and the conflicting Fred Parris address were excluded. No current vacancy or property-level felony acceptance is confirmed.
