Immerse Arkansas has a site for its work with young adults in crisis. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported on October 10, 2026, that an anonymous donor gave $4.5 million and New Heights Church granted a 99-year land lease so the nonprofit can bring short-term housing to Fayetteville. The land sits just north of Cobblestone Farm Community. The paper's headline called it a permanent home in Northwest Arkansas for the organization.

The housing is still ahead of them. The gift and the lease are for building that short-term housing, not a report that young adults have already moved in.
