In 2017, CUCI joined a Financial Cooperative led by The Working World. This National Peer Network brings together place-based organizations from around the country to build a national infrastructure of cooperative lending and non-extractive financing. CUCI’s participation in the financial cooperative has allowed Sustainergy to take a loan to purchase the equipment needed to enter into two new markets (injection foam insulation and mold remediation) and increase its revenue and profitability. Sustainergy has been successfully repaying the loan, starting only a few months after receiving it! Without important co-op loan fund partners such as The Working World and Shared Capital, success like Sustainergy’s would not be possible.

Because of this success, Sustainergy is growing and is looking to hire a highly motivated individual to join them as a Technician. They must have some building-related experience and a valid driver’s license. Check out the job description here to find out more and apply!
