To ensure the health and safety of those we serve and our community, The Arc of Texas staff is working remotely. We are still available by email and phone at 1-800-252-9729 or 512-454-6694.
Our goal is that you experience as little disruption as possible, but please allow additional time to process any disbursement requests or new enrollments.
As we thaw from the winter storm, we will prioritize any requests for emergency funds. We appreciate your understanding as we navigate this difficult situation alongside you.
