WHY ARCH?
Because we're on your side.
The current options for getting down payment assistance are expensive, exploitive, inaccessible, or a combination of all three. We provide a simpler, smarter, and better way to help first-time buyers just like yourself to finally get into their first home.
Who we are.
ARCH exists to fix gaps in real estate. We aim to make home ownership simple and universally available for Canadians. Our guiding principles drive all we do.
We believe that REAL ESTATE must be:
- Democratized
- Socially responsibile
- Sustainable
We’re here to help you.
Current alternatives like the ones below are expensive, exploitive, and are out of reach for the average Canadian.
Equitable Shared-Equity
Shared-equity programs are gaining popularity globally. Sadly, some are exploitive and capitalize on the hurdles facing buyers by imposing exorbitant fees and taking significant shares of hard-earned home equity. We have seen fees as high as 75% of a home's appreciation – this is no good.
ARCH Foundations is designed to deliver shared-equity financing in an equitable and sustainable manner. We are not out to make a quick buck and are in it for the long haul.

A dream come true
The team at Arch gave our family more than the right solution at the right time. They made our dream of getting into our first home come true. Can't thank them enough for their patience, expertise, and all-around support from start to end!

Making a difficult situation easy
We first heard of Arch through one of our friends who also happens to be our real estate agent. Knowing our situation, he quickly made an introduction to their team where they were able to help us ease the burden of a difficult and lengthy process.
Hands down one of the best things that has happened to our family!
