Fayetteville, Ark., Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acres.com, the complete land intelligence platform, has partnered with Urban Land Institute Northwest Arkansas to strengthen housing and land-use research in one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions. The collaboration will provide ULI NWA with access to Acres’ national parcel and ownership data, supporting regional planning and development initiatives.
As part of the partnership, Acres will help ULI NWA analyze properties owned by faith-based organizations to evaluate potential for affordable housing on suitable, underutilized land in support of the Faithful Foundations program.. This effort helps visualize opportunities for affordable housing and mission-driven development across Benton and Washington counties.
“This partnership embodies our shared commitment to helping communities make smarter, more transparent land decisions,” said Carter Malloy, Founder and CEO of Acres.com. “By incorporating Faithful Foundations sites into Acres, we’re giving civic and private leaders the ability to see and act on opportunities that directly support housing affordability.”
“Acres’ technology adds a powerful layer to the work our members are doing on the ground,” said Wes Craiglow, Executive Director of ULI Northwest Arkansas. “Visualizing these sites spatially helps connect data to action, supporting developers, planners, and congregations as they bring new housing options to life.”
