Our Story

The Alliance for Resilience and Community Health (ARCH) was born from a shared vision among local leaders, organizations, and residents across Butte County who saw the urgent need for deeper collaboration to address complex health and community challenges. In the aftermath of disasters, public health crises, and growing disparities, it became clear that no single organization could tackle these issues alone.

ARCH was established to serve as a collaborative home—a unifying space where community partners could come together to align efforts, share resources, and drive collective action. ARCH functions as a strategic partner, providing infrastructure, coordination, and support for initiatives that advance equity, well-being, and long-term resilience.

Our work is guided by the belief that communities thrive when relationships are strong, voices are included, and systems are designed with equity at the center. Through partnerships with organizations like the Healthy Communities Collaborative, the Butte Resilience Collaborative, and the Accountable Communities for Health, ARCH is building bridges and helping translate bold ideas into tangible impact.

This is more than an organization—it’s a movement toward a healthier, more connected future.
