The Arlington-Alexandria Coalition for the Homeless (AACH) is a private non-profit organization that provides transitional housing and support services to homeless families and women in Arlington County and the City of Alexandria in Virginia.


At AACH we offer homeless women and their families more than just a roof over their heads; we provide a foundation to help them rebuild their lives. Members from several religious groups in Arlington and Alexandria created AACH in 1985 to meet the critical needs of the homeless in our communities. Our mission is to move people into a permanently self-sufficient, independent life. We do this through four integrated programs.
     •   Sullivan House, a ten-unit, 50-bed shelter for families and women for 3-4 months.
     •   Adopt-A-Family, support and assistance for families who have moved into their own apartments from Sullivan House and other shelters, for up to 2 years.
     •   LifeWorks, employment counseling, education and training.
     •   SKIT (Support for Kids in Transition), assistance and advocacy for the children in our families.
