Overview

Mission

The mission of arch is to ensure that everyone is acadiana has access to safe, affordable, stable housing and that all episodes of homelessness are rare, brief, and non-recurring.

What it reported doing in 2025

Sharehouse is operated from arch's warehouse, behind the arch offices. Members of the community are able to drop off gently used household items like beds, chairs, couches, bedding, dinnerware, toiletries, and housekeeping tools and supplies. The items are inventoried and sorted by arch staff and volunteers, and organized in a store-like presentation. Arch clients, and those of our partner agencies, who were experiencing homelessness and are now ready to be rehoused are able to receive the items that they need. Together, arch staff, volunteers, and clients transport the items to their new homes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 90% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
