Local rental overview
PBHA identifies four public-housing developments, all CITY RESOURCE ONLY—not address-supported apartment listings. Brochure-reported unit figures are historical source descriptions, not current unit counts or availability. Hallmark's printed bedroom subtotals add to 100 while its separately printed total is 99; the discrepancy is unresolved. No development address, map pin, or property photo is provided.
Application tips
Contact PBHA through its official website (https://pbha.weebly.com/) or call (870) 536-2074 at the main office to ask for CURRENT application instructions, whether applications are open, eligibility, screening, and availability. The PBHA brochure says applications are accepted on the second Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of each month only when the application process is open. The current application period and instructions are not verified; ask PBHA for CURRENT instructions. The brochure describes income and family eligibility, citizenship or eligible immigration status, references, and general suitability screening. It does not state an affirmative felony policy. No blanket felony acceptance or rejection is claimed.

PBHA main office only: 2503 Belle Meade Drive, Pine Bluff, AR 71601; phone (870) 536-2074. This is the organization's MAIN OFFICE, not a residential address for any development. The contact page shows maps but no property street addresses; its Office/Hallmark map pin is incorrectly located in San Francisco and is not a usable Pine Bluff location.

No exact residential address or property-specific photograph is established for Hallmark, Cottonwood, West Meadows, or Royal Oaks. Do not use PBHA's main-office address or map coordinates as a development location. Hallmark's brochure reports 99 units but its bedroom counts (18 one-bedroom, 32 two-bedroom, 20 three-bedroom, 30 four-bedroom) total 100; this source inconsistency is unresolved.
