East King County is home to residents who speak over a hundred languages. ARCH’s Engagement Team prioritizes language access through our events and materials.
For example, in fall 2026, A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH) hosted Affordable Housing Through ARCH, a multilingual community presentation focused on helping East King County residents learn about ARCH's affordable rental and homeownership programs.
The event provided an opportunity for community members to learn how ARCH's programs work, who may qualify, and how to access affordable housing opportunities coming up in their communities.
To help meet community members where they are and make housing information more accessible, ARCH provided interpretation in Spanish, Ukrainian, and French, the three languages requested by event registrants. By including language interpretation, participants could engage with the presentation in their preferred language.
In addition, ARCH maintains information about our affordable rental and homeownership programs in the following languages: Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Fulani, and Wolof.
Through multilingual community presentations like Affordable Housing Through ARCH and translated materials, ARCH works to increase awareness and understanding of its rental and homeownership programs. Together, these services and resources help residents who speak a range of languages take informed steps toward finding an affordable place to call home in East King County.
