Formerly known as Taunton Association for the Homeless we have been in existence for more than 40 years, now with 16 properties housing 168 people. As well as providing accommodation Arc aims to ensure no-one has to spend more than one night homeless, with our Outreach Team working hard to support rough sleepers, getting them into accommodation as quickly as possible.
Arc understands that it is not just about having a roof over your head so we help our clients on a road to recovery, inspiring and assisting them to move forwards through a positive journey to independence.
Each client receives 1 to 1 support from our Housing Support Workers who work to create a journey of recovery. Once a client is ready we help clients move into independant accommodation with schemes such as the move in fund and tenancy sustainment support.
