About

We are a braintrust.

Our Mission

The mission of the US Africa Collaborative, Inc. is to be a catalyst that brings together housing and human settlement professionals including educators, policymakers, developers, advocates, students, and financial and philanthropic institutions, from the US and the African Diaspora to collectively work together to address the need to create safe and tenure secure, healthy, sustainable, and resilient human settlements in the context of the global housing crisis, climate change and intensified urbanization in a culturally competent and inclusive manner.

Our Vision

We formed the US Africa Collaborative because we believe affordable housing is a serious problem and considerable challenge, especially for low-income households, throughout the African Diaspora. We aim to build resilient communities by fostering a cohesive network of professionals to impact policy discussion and lead test projects to address the challenge of homelessness, and inadequate housing supply. We also believe that the professionalization of the housing and human settlements sectors is an important imperative to achieving sustainable communities for all our global citizens today and tomorrow.

Our Values

Our organization’s values are based on Compassion, Empathy, Transparency, Equity, and Inclusivity.
