Our Story

An Arcata House Partnership staff member smiles while meeting with a client in a bright, welcoming space. The supportive conversation reflects the organization’s commitment to housing stability and personalized care.

Arcata House Partnership (AHP) is a nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals and families in Humboldt County who face homelessness and food insecurity.

Since 1991, we’ve been here to provide the essentials that people need to regain stability. As the only organization in the County offering a full range of support, we provide food, shelter, outreach, assistance, and case management. With compassion and respect, we connect each person to the resources they need, supporting them on their path to safety and dignity.

Our work includes:

Compassion

Compassion drives us to go beyond simply providing shelter and resources; it inspires us to create relationships, build trust, and support each person's journey toward stability and dignity.

Dignity

We believe everyone deserves to be treated as a human being. Upholding dignity means seeing people beyond their circumstances and offering support without judgment.

Empowerment

We walk alongside others to support their unique journeys, providing resources that help them take steps toward a more stable future. 

Our Board

Arcata House Partnership’s Board meetings are held quarterly in January, April, July, and October.
