What is ARCH?
The Association of Retained Council Housing was set up for councils whose tenants have chosen the local authority as their landlord. ARCH brings councils who own and manage housing together to get the best deal for their tenants.
What does ARCH do?
- Promotes best practice
- Listens to the views of tenants
- Represents collective interests of stock retained councils nationally
- Lobbies for a fairer, clearer finance system to allow councils to provide affordable homes in a sustainable way
- Demonstrates the benefits of retained stock in meeting wider local and national priorities
