Arvest Bank and FHLB Dallas Award $225,000 for Youth Homeless Shelter

The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) awarded Immerse Arkansas a $225,000 Affordable Housing Program (AHP) grant through FHLB Dallas member Arvest Bank to build a homeless shelter for young adults in Little Rock, Arkansas. Public officials gathered today to celebrate the shelter’s grand opening.

The Station, operated by Immerse Arkansas, provides temporary housing for runaways, youth aging out of the foster care system, victims of human trafficking and homeless young adults, ages 18-24. 

“Our goal is to help young adults in crisis become whole and resilient people,” said Immerse Arkansas Executive Director Eric Gilmore. “We are deeply grateful for the partnership of FHLB Dallas and Arvest on this project, which helped us to fund construction costs of the shelter.”
