Arizona Research Center for Housing and Economic Solutions (ARCHES)
The Arizona Research Center for Housing and Economic Solutions (ARCHES) was funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant through its HSI Center of Excellence investment to advance knowledge and evidence-based solutions related to housing challenges focused on Hispanic and other underserved communities in Arizona and the Southwest.
The center is co-located at Arizona State University’s (ASU) Morrison Institute for Public Policy and the University of Arizona’s (UA) Drachman Institute and includes researchers from Northern Arizona University (NAU) and the University of New Mexico (UNM), all Hispanic-Serving Institutions.
The center's mission is to become the hub for research addressing housing and its intersections with security, climate, and health in Arizona and the Southwest. The center aims to create connections between research and practice and values place-based research that is community-engaged, equitable, evidence-based, and solution-focused.
Formerly named the Arizona Research Center for Housing Equity and Sustainability.
