CDFIs do more than provide loans—they create opportunities. At the latest Opportunity Finance Network Conference, we spoke with industry professionals about what CDFIs mean to them, their favorite success stories, and why this work matters. As part of our 40th anniversary, BlueHub Capital is reflecting on the power of CDFIs to create lasting change. For four decades, we’ve been committed to financing solutions that uplift communities—whether through affordable housing, education facilities, clean energy solutions or foreclosure relief. We’re proud to be part of this movement and to continue driving impact alongside our peers in the CDFI space.

关于我们
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.

Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), like BlueHub, are key to creating economic opportunity. The recent executive order aimed at the CDFI Fund is being met with strong opposition from elected officials on both sides of the aisle, as well as community advocates, banks and nonprofits. As ImpactAlpha reports, the response has been swift. CDFIs and their advocates are mobilizing—reminding policymakers that our industry has strong bipartisan support and have leveraged public funding to attract private capital for decades. From distributing PPP loans during the pandemic to financing community-driven projects, CDFIs play a key role in financial inclusion. We'll be monitoring the situation as it progresses.

Today, BlueHub's Loan Fund President Karen Kelleher, took the stage at Bisnow’s Boston Affordable Housing Conference, joining a dynamic panel of industry leaders to discuss innovative funding strategies for affordable housing. The conversation explored tax credits, including LIHTCs, and creative financing solutions that are making affordable housing projects possible. Engaging with fellow panelists from MassHousing, Massachusetts Housing Investment Corporation (MHIC), Related Beal and Rockland Trust Bank, Karen highlighted the opportunities and challenges ahead in funding and development. "We’re moving forward, looking at every deal individually and getting really creative. States will need to step up, and we’re rolling up our sleeves to put every resource to work to make deals happen," said Kelleher, reinforcing BlueHub's commitment to expanding affordable housing solutions. The insights shared today reinforce the importance of collaboration in driving real solutions for affordable housing. Let’s keep the momentum going!

BlueHub Capital supported Reclaim Roxbury’s First Annual Celebration of Roxbury Legends! We're especially thrilled that Gregory Minott AIA, LEED AP, was this year’s Roxbury Legend Award recipient.
