Take Action: Join the AL-507 Continuum of Care
The AL-507 Balance of State Continuum of Care brings together individuals and organizations committed to preventing and ending homelessness across 37 counties in Alabama. In alignment with HUD guidance, CoC members include those who work within or interact with the homelessness response system.
ARCH, as the lead agency, maintains CoC membership to support coordinated planning, communication, governance, and system improvement. Membership allows stakeholders to receive CoC communications, participate in meetings and workgroups, and engage in CoC governance activities, including voting, as applicable.
2025 Membership Enrollment
For the remainder of 2025, CoC membership enrollment is open and free for both individuals and organizations actively engaged in the homelessness response system. This ensures broad participation and representation across the Continuum.
Organizations and individuals who have previously supported ARCH through paid memberships or contributions are deeply valued. Those contributions have strengthened training, technical assistance, planning, and system coordination efforts across the Continuum.
Choose Your Membership Type

Individual Membership: For advocates, service providers, persons with lived experience, volunteers, and community members.
