Description

Homeless Shelter and Housing Programs.
ARCH provides the initial stabilization needed for clients to exit the cycle of homelessness.
They provide therapeutic case management and referrals to additional appropriate resources in the community.
They utilize a low barrier, housing first model of shelter to ensure that homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring.
