Who are we?

ARCH by HomeScreen is a part of HomeScreen Verification and Screening, the only nonprofit tenant screening solution on the market. HomeScreen, based in St. Louis, MO debuted in 2018 and has screened over 18,000 applicants since launching, using our mission of creating more safe and stable housing as our guide.

When Covid-19 took us and the rest of the world by surprise, we took the opportunity to brainstorm how we could help those affected. We knew many low-income renters were at risk of losing their housing because of the economic effects of the pandemic. We used CARES Act funding to create ARCH, our database of landlords open to housing renters with barriers.

Since ARCH launched in 2021, we have successfully partnered with over 100 local nonprofit organizations and over 250 landlords. We have helped more than 100 households secure housing through the ARCH platform.
