Atlanta Regional Collaborative for Health Improvement

What Atlanta Regional Collaborative for Health Improvement does

Atlanta Regional Collaborative for Health Improvement (ARCHI) is a 501(c)-style nonprofit collaborative founded in 2012 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Its mission is to transform health outcomes in metro Atlanta by addressing health inequities at the systems level through cross-sector collective-impact work. ARCHI convenes 120+ partners, including 8 major Atlanta healthcare systems (Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory Healthcare, Grady Health System, Piedmont Healthcare, Wellstar, etc.), government entities (City of Atlanta, Fulton and DeKalb County Governments), academic institutions (Georgia State University, Morehouse School of Medicine), and community-based organizations. The organization is governed by a Steering Committee of partner representatives and supported by a Leadership Team comprising United Way of Greater Atlanta, the Atlanta Regional Commission, and the Georgia Health Policy Center, with Georgia State University acting as the administrative backbone that processes charitable donations.

ARCHI's program portfolio centers on six strategic initiatives: the Atlanta Hypertension Initiative (engaging 90+ organizations around cardiovascular health), the Community Health Worker Initiative / Georgia CHW Network (statewide CHW coordination, with 76,770 referrals logged), the Health and Housing Initiative (anchored by a 2019 Kresge Foundation grant and reporting a 45% decrease in non-urgent ER visits, a 13% decrease in healthcare costs, and a 16% increase in access to preventive and chronic care), Community Resource Hubs (a coordinated referral network across 18+ service organizations), the Community Voices storytelling initiative, and the CONCIERGE program (a public/private partnership with AssuranceAmerica.com aimed at homelessness prevention). Its primary technology asset is the Rent, Mortgage and Utility Relief Portal, launched in October 2023, which provides a single universal application that automatically matches residents to rental, mortgage, and utility assistance programs across partner agencies and has processed nearly 100,000 applications and facilitated over $5 million in aid.

ARCHI's business model is donation- and grant-funded rather than revenue-generating; partnership and participation in initiatives are offered at no fee. Operating support comes from charitable contributions routed through Georgia State University, multi-year foundation grants (notably Kresge Foundation's Advancing Health Equity through Housing program), and corporate philanthropy (a $1,000,000 grant from CVS Health was recorded on 2025-01-23). Revenue mechanics therefore rely on philanthropic and corporate-funder cultivation rather than commercial pricing, and Go-to-Market is structured as community-led engagement with open partnership intake rather than traditional sales motions.
