BlueHub Capital
BlueHub Capital is a mission-driven, nonprofit community development finance organization focused on building healthy communities where low-income people live and work. We use innovative financial tools and deploy capital to support projects that make communities more vibrant places to live. BlueHub has four distinct programs: BlueHub Loan Fund (community development financing), BlueHub SUN (foreclosure relief), BlueHub Energy (clean energy access) and One Percent for America (citizenship financing). Since our founding in 1985, BlueHub has invested over $2.4 billion (and leveraged over $12 billion) to finance: - Affordable housing, school facilities, child and youth development programs, community-based health centers, grocery stores, and community gathering places - Removing financial barriers to US citizenship - Clean energy enhancements that expand access to solar and other renewable sources for people with low incomes - Mortgage lending for families facing foreclosure Reducing economic inequality is at the heart of why BlueHub exists and why we do the work we do. Our investments focus on economically and racially marginalized communities that have been systematically denied access to capital.
