Representing the future of the African Diaspora immigrant and refugee community in King County and beyond, the Cultural Anchor Village will be designed by and for the community as a response to rampant displacement and a historic underinvestment in the African Diaspora community. The project is a manifestation of ACHDs mission and includes a combination of affordable, family-sized rental housing, wrap-around services, and extensive cultural resources, including an early learning facility. The project is being developed in partnership with Mercy Housing Northwest.

As part of ACHDs holistic economic development approach, the market will be coupled with low-cost workspaces, one-on-one mentorship, technical assistance, culturally specific support services, and advocacy to ensure the success of business owners and the community itself.
