What We Do

What We Do

Our mission is to expand affordable housing opportunities across the United States. By leveraging the Section 8 housing program and private funds from generous donors and investors, we provide below-market rate financing for purchases and renovations of multifamily apartment properties to increase the available number of high-quality, affordable rental homes. We are a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

​

In addition to financing multifamily properties, we offer educational and support services to all tenants. Our goal is to empower families and children so they can achieve financial independence and no longer need government assistance.

​

Our second focus is to reduce small business gentrification. We provide below-market financing for commercial properties that lease to businesses with fewer than 25 employees in up-and-coming areas. These businesses play a crucial role in servicing the local community and fostering economic growth.

Join us in creating a brighter future where everyone has a place to call home, small businesses thrive, and communities flourish.

Robert Hernández

Founder & CEO

Welcome to The 1 Percent Club, where compassion meets action, and together, we are building a brighter future for communities across the United States. As the founder, I am deeply committed to expanding affordable housing and preserving the heart of our neighborhoods. Our mission is not just about providing homes; it’s about creating opportunities for families to thrive, for children to dream big, and for small businesses to grow in the communities they serve. By harnessing the power of the Section 8 housing program, alongside the generosity of our donors and investors, we are making high-quality, affordable rental homes a reality for those who need them most. We believe that every family deserves the dignity of a safe and comfortable home, and through our educational and support services, we are empowering them to achieve financial independence.

​

Our vision extends beyond housing. We are dedicated to preserving the character and vibrancy of our communities by supporting small businesses at risk of being displaced by gentrification. These businesses are the backbone of our local economies, and with our below-market financing, we ensure they can continue to serve and uplift the neighborhoods they call home. At The 1 Percent Club, we are not just investing in properties; we are investing in people, in dreams, and in the future of our communities. Join us on this journey, and together, let’s create a world where everyone has a place to call home, and where small businesses and communities can flourish.
