What We Do

BCC and our affiliates provide a wide range of debt and equity products for low-income communities and individuals and for emerging businesses and entrepreneurs.  Together, we have invested over $650 million in underserved communities across the nation, building healthy communities where low-income people live and work.

Boston Community Capital, as the holding company for the BCC organization, provides strategic and management direction for the overall organization, carries out our public policy work, and oversees the development of new initiatives.

BCC’s programs and initiatives include:

• Boston Community Loan Fund (BCLF), which lends money to community projects such as affordable housing, child care facilities, schools, youth programs and community facilities.
• Boston Community Venture Fund (BCVF), which makes equity investments in businesses that create jobs or provide services for LICs.
• New Markets Tax Credits, which leverages private sector investment into distressed communities across the United States.
• Foreclosure Relief Programs, focused on stabilizing neighborhoods hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis, and helping families facing eviction due to foreclosure to remain in their homes.
• Sustainability Initiatives, focused on renewable energy, energy efficiency and conservation.
• Civic Leadership, employees are encouraged to pursue their own civic participation, furthering BCC’s mission through their personal commitment.
