Our Mission
To develop safe, permanently affordable housing for persons of low to moderate-income and to work with all interested public and private parties towards this objective.
ARCH has launched a second line of business that directly assists our moderate-income households—those who earn too much for federally funded housing but not enough to live here. Private funding makes housing more accessible to the workforce and allows for partnerships with specific industries and employers. Using private funds and partnerships, ARCH is delivering housing for our workforce.
To develop safe, permanently affordable housing for persons of low to moderate-income and to work with all interested public and private parties towards this objective.
Desarrollar viviendas seguras y asequibles para personas de ingresos bajos a moderados y trabajar con todas las partes interesadas, públicas y privadas, para lograr este objetivo.
ARCH is constantly working towards bridging the housing affordability gap. At any given time, ARCH has developments in every stage of the pipeline. The entire process takes at least two years, but often up to five years.
1 Month to Several Years
The development process begins with identifying and purchasing land.
3 to 6 Months
The land is entitled, which means it goes through the city approval process.
3 to 4 Months
ARCH designs the house. This includes architecture and engineering.
2-4 Weeks
ARCH submits the designs to the county for a building permit.
12 Months
Materials begin to arrive and construction follows once a permit is acquired.
Immediately
The full process takes anywhere from two to five years after the initial purchase of land.
Using private philanthropy and partnerships, ARCH is delivering housing for the workforce. Projects underway include partnerships with:
12 homes for hospital employees
Six to eight homes
Duplex property development
$990K workforce housing initiative partner
