Who are we?
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.
These are crucial times for social housing. The way affordable homes are delivered, financed and regulated is
changing. Around 100 local authorities own and manage 800,000 properties and ARCH wants to make sure that a brighter
future for council tenants is secured.
