Alexandra (AAOA):
Archway Communities has not only provided affordable housing but also offers their residents amazing supportive services. How did the company transition into something more holistic?
Georgeanne Barrett (Archway Communities):
Archway Communities was founded in the early ‘90s by David Nestor and Rob Lapp. They wanted to create more equity and justice for people in their communities. They knew that housing is such an essential need, but it can be really hard to obtain. Once they
started Archway, they saw that giving someone a roof over their head wasn’t enough to help people meet their goals. So, they started the Supportive Services Program directly based on resident feedback. Archway blossomed by providing affordable housing, supportive services, and food security.
