Arkansas Governor's Mansion Commission issued the following announcement on April 27.
Last week I announced Arkansas will not draw down the full federal funding available for rental assistance. After distributing nearly $100 million in rental assistance during COVID, families are getting back on their feet & still have options for assistance if needed.
This decision has been mischaracterized as eliminating all forms of rental assistance, but that’s not the case. We still have $6.7 million of unspent funding and the pre-pandemic assistance. Our goal is to use partners to help families achieve long-term housing stability.
