State & City Resources
Fayetteville, Arkansas: Disability Resources
On This Page
Fayetteville resources include a Washington County aging office and city programs for housing repair and transportation. Confirm city limits before relying on a city-funded program; a Fayetteville mailing address may not answer that question.
Washington County Aging Contact
Northwest Arkansas AAA: Washington County Office is the Fayetteville branch of the Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Arkansas. The agency describes care coordination, caregiver support, in-home services and other resources. Contact the branch to identify services appropriate for the person’s needs and location, rather than assuming every agency service is available to every caller.
Owner-Occupied Housing Repairs
Fayetteville Housing Rehabilitation And Repair serves qualifying homeowners within Fayetteville city limits. The published requirements include owning and occupying the home for at least a year before applying and keeping property taxes current. Income restrictions also apply. The city instructs applicants to ask when applications are being taken, so confirm availability before preparing a full submission.
Separate Transit Passes From Taxi Assistance
Fayetteville Taxi And Transit Passes describes transportation help for qualifying low- and moderate-income Fayetteville residents. The page distinguishes on-demand Ozark Regional Transit passes from the Taxi Program. At the source check, the Taxi Program was at capacity and not accepting new applicants. Read the current instructions for the specific option rather than treating the programs as interchangeable.
Before You Contact a Program
- Confirm the home address falls inside the relevant city or county service boundary.
- For repairs, gather ownership, occupancy and tax information requested by the city.
- For transportation, identify the actual program and ask whether applications are open.
- For aging services, explain daily needs, caregiver availability and preferred contact method.
Federal Benefits and Next Steps
Apply for SSDI[1] or SSI[2] through the Social Security Administration. Local resource programs have separate applications and do not decide federal disability benefits.
