Arkansas Community Action Agencies offer a variety of opportunities for low- to moderate-income arkansans to increase their levels of family stability and self-reliance.
Low-income earners are given the opportunity to work with members of the community through volunteer activities and other civic activities.
People with disabilities and senior citizens are provided with support and emergency services to help them maintain independent living status.
Development services are provided for infants, children and youth to enable them to reach their full potential.

Arkansas CAA works with a network of social partners to provide opportunities for families and improve living conditions in low-income communities.

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance program is called LIHEAP. They assist low income people and families with their heating and cooling bills. This program is therefore, a year long program that is available 12 months a year. To qualify for the LIHEAP assistance, you need to qualify. We provide the current Federal Poverty Rates nationwide below.

You are automatically qualified for LIHEAP assistance if you participate in the SNAP food stamps program, TANF Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or the SSI program through Social Security.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get legal aid from some offices, they use a sliding fee scale. When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
