Welcome to Arcata House
Arcata House is a community-based nonprofit organization created in 1991 as a partnership between local churches, the City of Arcata and residents of the area who believed that ending homelessness was the responsibility of everyone in the community.
We operate two programs:

Arcata House operates three transitional houses where families and individuals live while they save money and overcome the challenges that led to their being homeless. Learn More→
