What is ALAMP™?

Practical, field-tested training — not just theory

The ALAMP™ certificate program was developed by ARCH to equip organizations across Alabama with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively support individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Training is built around real case management and Rapid Re-Housing practice, taught by instructors who have done the work themselves.

ALAMP™ training stands on its own — agencies don't need to be a CoC member, an ARCH grant subrecipient, or based in a BoS county to request training. It's core to ARCH's mission of building a stronger homeless services workforce statewide.

“Programs tailored specifically to the realities of rural and underserved service areas.”

Why go out of state for Rapid Re-Housing expertise ARCH already has?

Rapid Re-Housing isn't a side topic for ARCH — it's what ALAMP™ was built around. Our instructors have spent years administering Rapid Re-Housing programs on the ground in rural Alabama, not just teaching the model from a slide deck. When Alabama agencies bring in outside trainers to cover Rapid Re-Housing and case management, they're often paying for expertise ARCH already offers, developed specifically for the rural communities they serve — at no cost, through membership. Before looking outside the state, talk to the team that's mastered it here.
