About us
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.

💡 Did you know? According to the The Commonwealth Fund, 41% of Americans struggle with medical bills and debt. Deborah and her husband’s story showcases how resilience can triumph over such challenges. It started with a small dot on her husband’s eyelid, leading to a cancer diagnosis and overwhelming medical bills. Despite her steady job, they fell behind mortgage on payments, with their servicer offering no relief. Enter BlueHub SUN. Initially skeptical, Deborah found it to be a beacon of hope. SUN helped them repurchase their home at a discounted rate, easing their financial burden. "It was like a huge weight was lifted," she says. Her advice? "Knowledge is power. Never let anyone belittle your struggle. BlueHub SUN didn’t just help us financially; they helped us breathe again. To anyone feeling overwhelmed, know that there are people who want to help. Finding BlueHub SUN was like finding a beacon in our storm. They were our turning point." ☀️Read her full story: https://lnkd.in/eZKVVTqw #Resilience #FinancialRecovery #BlueHubSUN #ForeclosureRelief

In La Opinión, our COO Brenda Loya discusses the application fees, legal challenges and social acceptance issues that hinder immigrants. Brenda calls for continued efforts to reduce these barriers and support their integration into American society, including initiatives like One Percent For America.
As National Immigrant Heritage Month comes to an end, it’s important to reflect on the positive impact that immigrants have made in our country. Many immigrants come to the U.S. with the hope of creating safer and more economically secure futures for themselves and their families but often face challenges on their path to citizenship. We’re fortunate to play a role in reducing those barriers through our mission at One Percent for America. This week, our very own Brenda Loya shared her thoughts in La Opinión on championing the contributions of immigrants and creating more accessible pathways for citizenship.

Connecticut attorney Theresa Rose DeGray's passion for helping homeowners prevent foreclosure stems from her personal experience with bankruptcy. In 2009, despite her legal background, she faced overwhelming debt and turned to bankruptcy to rebuild her life. This experience fueled her passion for helping others in similar situations. At her firm, Consumer Legal Services LLC, DeGray now dedicates her practice to assisting Connecticut homeowners in navigating the complexities of bankruptcy and foreclosure. By sharing her own story, she inspires clients to overcome financial hurdles and take control of their futures. “Bankruptcy can provide immediate relief and stop foreclosure proceedings,” DeGray explains. She emphasizes the importance of exploring all options, from loan modifications to programs like BlueHub SUN, which she calls a "miracle solution" for homeowners facing home loss. Attorney DeGray’s journey from financial hardship to advocacy is a testament to resilience and the power of sharing personal experiences to help others.

📚✨It's time for Term of the Month Tuesday! Let's define "Under-Resourced Communities". Under-resourced communities are areas characterized by high poverty and low incomes, often densely populated. These communities can be found in metropolitan areas, cities or towns where the median household income and educational attainment are below the state average. Residents, including economically disadvantaged individuals, racial and ethnic minorities, the uninsured, elderly, those with limited English proficiency, and individuals with disabilities, face significant barriers to social, economic and healthcare resources. Unlike traditional banks, CDFIs like BlueHub specialize in lending to these communities, offering loans to build healthier communities. Understanding and addressing the challenges faced by under-resourced communities is crucial for promoting equity and improving overall well-being. #TermoftheMonthTuesday #UnderResourcedCommunities #CommunitySupport

A call to action from our CEO Elyse Cherry: Join us in inviting our immigrant neighbors to grow their participation in local economies and benefit from those economies through attaining citizenship. In her recent article for Fast Company, Elyse discusses the vital role of encouraging more immigrants to become citizens to stabilize our economy and workforce. 📈 With rising costs and barriers to citizenship, it's more important than ever for business leaders to support initiatives that make naturalization accessible. At BlueHub Capital, we capitalized and launched nonprofit One Percent For America, which provides low-interest loans to help immigrants cover citizenship fees. Join us this #ImmigrationHeritageMonth in driving positive change. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eYJDtSMq #Immigration #USCitizenship #OnePercentForAmerica 🌍🗽
