educational services

housing services

legal support and referral services
promotion of economic development
health-related services
workshops and community events
our community
African immigrants to the U.S. have to navigate new languages, new societal rules and unfamiliar bureaucratic systems. This makes it difficult for them to honestly express their needs.
​
At ACHD, everything that we do comes from a place of cultural understanding, solidarity and familiarity. Because we share the same story as our community members, we are able to ensure that when they come to us, they can speak for themselves, from their own hearts, rather than having their voices interpreted.
​
​
When our clients come to us for help, they know that they are coming to people who they can truly trust to put their wellbeing first.
