Not true, there is an ARIN policy that allows you to get a /24 from one
of your providers even if you only need 1 IP address:

NPRM 4.2.3.6

"This policy allows a downstream customer's multihoming requirement to 
serve as justification for a /24 reassignment from their upstream ISP, 
regardless of host requirements."
