The Three-Year Accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation awarded to an organization and demonstrates its commitment to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable, and of the highest quality. Arc Broward programs have been awarded consecutive accreditations from CARF for over 30 years.

It addresses stakeholder needs for accountability in outcomes for services, fiscal health and satisfaction with services and the organization. Surveyors noted the organization’s transparency, extraordinary leadership, financial solvency, and high performance of programs.
