Impact analysis
About $1.14 million in federal grant money going to local nonprofits and housing programs — no local tax dollars, but $40,000 less than last year.
Low-income residents served by homeless shelters, dental clinics, food programs, youth programs, and housing repairs.
The Fort Smith Housing Authority's lot acquisition project went unfunded, and Compass Realty's down-payment assistance application was excluded over conflict-of-interest concerns.
