Delivering Affordable, Efficient Energy in Arkansas

To assist low-income residents of Arkansas who cannot afford to pay their utility bills the Arkansas Community Action Agencies Association (ACAAA) formed a Steering Committee of stakeholders that convened two Forums and identified three priorities: formation of a statewide fuel fund; expansion of a sales tax exemption for utility services; and expansion of the state’s federally-funded weatherization energy efficiency program. Members of workgroups focusing on these priorities have been actively involved in legislative initiatives and collaborative processes to coordinate and administer funds and assistance programs and expand utility services.
