Coverage for Chicot County — contacts, referrals and gaps

“Published contact” means a source lists a county office or regional match. CPS/DCFS matches identify administrative area assignments using a central-office referral; direct local intake numbers are not verified. “Referral only” means a statewide or federal route is available; a local provider has not been confirmed in this directory.

DCFS relatives page is explicitly archived after April 2026; current kinship requirements and placement must be confirmed with DCFS and counsel.

State-linked agency contact PDF is dated January 12, 2024. Regional territory and contacts require confirmation; no live stock, pickup-site hours or universal CSFP participation is established.

DHS states that the 2026 application period has ended. Future years and existing-benefit questions require current program confirmation.

Published regional supervision areas, not 75 reentry offices, open beds, available jobs or treatment slots. Reporting requirements come from the individual’s release or court papers.

SSA pages returned HTTP 403 to the capture tool. DOC supplies the SSA referral; no local SSA capture hash or automated benefit decision is claimed.

Seven published regional advising territories cover all 75 counties. This does not verify every municipal permit, local business license, available grant or appointment. Exact address, activity and city limits require confirmation.

Legal Aid publishes statewide service beginning in 2026. This is statewide civil intake, not 75 local offices or guaranteed representation. Public-defense contacts retain their independently published county assignments.

Specialist lawyers, open shelter beds, appointments, program funding and case-specific local procedures are not verified by these counts.

All 75 counties: coverage audit

Eleven service areas have published county or regional contacts in every county, including employment rehabilitation and school administration. CPS/DCFS adds published administrative area assignments for all 75 counties; these use the statewide central-office contact and do not establish direct county intake numbers. Food assistance adds six regional food-bank referral territories covering all 75 counties, from a state-linked January 12, 2024 directory; these are not current pantry pickup sites, verified opening hours or universal CSFP participation. Reentry adds eleven published DOC supervision areas covering all 75 counties, with separate Pulaski probation and parole routes; these are not 75 reentry offices or general housing and employment intake lines. Business startup adds seven explicitly published ASBTDC advising territories covering all 75 counties; these do not verify every municipal license, available grant or appointment. Housing and utility contacts now include the state’s county-assigned weatherization providers. Family-safety listings identify shelter locations in 20 counties; call to confirm service area and safe intake. School county assignments are administrative listings, not attendance boundaries. Civil legal assistance uses the provider-published statewide Legal Aid intake route beginning in 2026, distinct from local office coverage or guaranteed representation. Other areas retain statewide or federal referrals where local contacts are unconfirmed.

Conflicting general community-action assignments are withheld; LIHEAP matches use the state Energy Office’s program-specific county list. This does not establish housing or utility funding availability. Vacant county veterans positions retain a published district route. No service-area assignment is inferred from an office’s city. The current ARS contact page and its older PDF disagree about Woodruff routing; confirm with ARS. School and shelter location matches do not establish eligibility.
