by csmith MHA Public Housing Public Housing at Metropolitan Housing Alliance has taken on many shapes and forms during our existence. From Sunset Terrace, a 74 unit site that was built in the 1940’s, to our newest and most modern site, which is Granite Mountain Senior Homes that was completed in 2012, we continue to evolve. In all we operate 13 Public Housing Sites that offer 903 units to needy families in the Little Rock Metropolitan Area.
