A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH)

ARCH Mission Statement: To increase housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income households in Eastside King County. This includes individuals and families, seniors, homeless, the disabled and other persons with special housing needs.

Description:
ARCH is 15 East King County cities and King County working together to increase the supply of housing for low and moderate income households in East King County. ARCH assists households looking for affordable rental and ownership housing; provides financial support to groups creating housing affordable to low and moderate income households; and assists member governments in developing housing policies and programs.

History:
A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH) was created in 1992 through an interlocal agreement of three suburban cities and King County. Since then, ARCH has grown to include 15 cities and the County. Each member recognizes the value in forming a coalition, pooling financial resources and coordinating planning efforts in order to provide affordable housing opportunities. In 2004, ARCH was awarded the Innovations in American Government Award in Affordable Housing by the Fannie Mae Foundation and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
