S&P Global Ratings Revises BlueHub Loan Fund's Outlook to Positive

S&P Global Ratings has revised the outlook for BlueHub Loan Fund, a nonprofit community development finance organization, from stable to positive and affirmed its long-term issuer credit rating of 'A+'. The rating agency also affirmed its 'A+' rating on the fund's 2020 and 2024 Sustainability Bonds.

The positive outlook is based on S&P's expectation that BlueHub Loan Fund's capital adequacy will remain above average compared to similarly rated peers over the next two years. This is attributed to the organization's continued risk mitigation within its lending portfolio and effective management of its cost of capital.

BlueHub Loan Fund provides flexible financing for projects in low-income communities across the United States. These projects include affordable housing, community health centers, schools, and grocery stores, aiming to foster equitable and inclusive economic opportunities.

Elyse Cherry, CEO of BlueHub Capital, stated that the positive outlook reflects the organization's financial strength and discipline, enabling it to be a reliable source of capital. She emphasized that a strong financial foundation supports ongoing investments in affordable housing, healthcare, education, and other essential community resources.
