A place, a capability, a first project
Capital becomes something
people can put to work.
A site creates a starting point. Buildout and equipment make it useful. Operating capacity keeps the work moving. The first housing projects give that capability a purpose.
The lead-hub modelBuild the place. Equip the work. Carry it forward.
Shared productive capacity
Tools, materials and places to repair, make and learn.
A starting point for homes
A build-fund seed that connects the hub to its first housing projects.
The proposed lead-hub budget
Six uses.
One connected purpose.
Explore the $1.75M planning allocation in the BBD Blueprint. Each category has a job to do in getting one hub ready to operate.

How the plan comes together
Four sources.
One working capital plan.
The proposed mix combines investor equity, grants, community capital and debt. The allocation above describes how that combined capital is intended to be used.
Investor equity
$525KPatient capital in the proposed funding mix.
Grant funding
$525KProgram-aligned support toward eligible work.
Community capital
$350KCash from capital and community-investor members.
Debt / CDFI
$350KFinancing within the project’s capital plan.
Target funding mix from the Blueprint. Funding commitments and final terms are documented separately.
Two different jobs in the budget
Keep work moving.
Keep capacity in reserve.
Operating runway and reserves sit alongside the buildings and equipment because a functioning hub needs both an operating plan and financial room to carry it through.
