Dan Meuser and French Hill released a staff report examining serious mismanagement across Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) nationwide, which is the result of a year-long investigation. The investigation included a field hearing on March 13, 2026, in Little Rock, Arkansas, which examined management failures at the Metropolitan Housing Alliance (MHA). Committee leadership also urged an investigation into MHA by the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
