ARCH is a partnership of the County and East King County Cities who have joined together to assist with preserv- ing and increasing the supply of housing for low— and moderate - income households in the region. ARCH assists member governments in developing housing policies, strategies, programs, and develop- ment regulations; coordinates the cities' financial support to groups creating affordable housing for low— and moderate -income households; and assists people looking for afford- able rental and ownership housing. ARCH's member governments have supported a wide range of housing created and operated by local organizations and private developers that serve individuals, families, seniors, the homeless, and persons with special needs.
