Homeless, not hopeless.

Serving as a “point of entry” for those with housing needs.

The Appalachian Regional Coalition on Homelessness (ARCH) is HUD's Continuum of Care Program for 8 counties in Northeast Tennessee. Our mission is to organize, facilitate, and provide homeless services in our region by coordinating front line service providers and collaborating with community partners.

We stand against racism and racist systems.

At ARCH we believe in social justice and racial equality, and we condemn institutions whose policies and practices lead to injustice and hate.

Are you in crisis and need help?

If you are currently homeless, or walking the delicate line between sheltered and homelessness, you need an advocate to help you navigate through the sea of programs and services that may be available to assist you. Whether your situation has been dictated by disability, addiction or circumstance, ARCH can help!
