WELCOME TO AHCD
Action for Haitian Community Development, Inc. (AHCD) is a grassroots nonprofit based in Malden, Massachusetts, serving immigrant families across Greater Boston. Founded in response to urgent community needs, AHCD empower immigrant families—particularly Haitian immigrants—through culturally responsive programs rooted in social, civic, and economic integration.
OUR MISSION
We exist to uplift immigrant families by removing barriers to access, fostering trust, and building pathways to long-term stability. Our work is guided by three pillars: Social, Civic, and Economic Integration.
SOCIAL INTEGRATION
At AHCD, social integration begins with trust—and grows through knowledge. We create spaces where Haitian and immigrant families feel safe, respected, and connected. Through culturally responsive services, wellness programs, and educational initiatives, we foster a sense of belonging that honors heritage while building bridges across cultures.
CIVIC INTEGRATION
Civic integration is about empowerment. AHCD equips community members with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to engage in public life. From advocacy training and voter education to system navigation and leadership development, we help immigrants become active participants in shaping the policies and institutions that affect their lives. We believe that informed voices are powerful agents of change.
ECONOMIC INTEGRATION
Economic integration means more than finding a job—it's about building stability, opportunity, and generational wealth. AHCD provides workforce readiness programs, financial literacy workshops, and entrepreneurial support tailored to immigrant experiences. We help individuals gain the skills and resources to thrive economically, while reinforcing the value of ownership, agency, and long-term growth.
