To our Community,
Here at DRA, we are closely monitoring the recent directive from the Trump Administration. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a recent directive to temporarily halt federal grants and loans. Disability Rights Arkansas relies heavily on nine federal grants to help us advocate for the health, safety, and welfare of Arkansans with Disabilities in every corner of our state.
Our work remains authorized and funded by Congress, and we expect this to be temporary; however, we do not have a timeline for a resolution. Currently, there is no immediate plan to suspend operations or the services we provide to those in our state.
Right now, the full implications of this decision remain unclear, but we are actively working with our national association, partner agencies, and other nonprofits to assess the situation. We deeply regret any inconvenience this temporary measure may cause and remain committed to assisting the disability community as best as we can under these circumstances.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time.
