The People's Arc of Suffolk to explore sale of Bohemia HQ

Bohemia, NY People’s Arc of Suffolk, formerly known as AHRC Suffolk, has announced plans to explore the sale of its building located at 2900 Veterans Highway. The decision comes as the organization seeks to align its operations more closely with its mission of serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the most effective and accessible ways possible. 

Originally designed as an industrial warehouse, the 74,000 s/f facility includes several loading docks, a large parking lot, conference rooms, and a commercial kitchen. First Development Corporation of Islandia, NY is serving as broker to People’s Arc. 

“The decision to sell our property is a strategic move that could significantly strengthen our financial position and operational flexibility,” said Chris Veros, CFO of People’s Arc. “By reinvesting the proceeds into modern, accessible facilities and innovative programming, we will ensure that our resources are directed where they’re needed most—toward the people and families we support.” 

People’s Arc plans to relocate to a new, more modernized headquarters, strategically located closer to the communities it serves, enhancing accessibility and supporting expanded programming. A timeline for the sale and relocation has yet to be announced. 

For over 70 years, People’s Arc of Suffolk has been a leading provider of services and support for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This decision underscores the organization’s commitment to adaptability, innovation, and the needs of the people it serves.
