ARCH Investments Celebration

Over seventy elected officials, housing developers, and community leaders came together on April 10, 2025, to celebrate ARCH’s recent funding awards. The event fostered connections between local city leaders and the partners who help ARCH build and operate affordable housing. Speakers emphasized the collective impact of ARCH member investments in affordable housing, future opportunities, and the importance of regional partnerships.
