Nucleus will serve as an engine for social, economic, and environmental equity amidst the on-going transformation of the Anacostia and Congress Heights communities. The 34,000 square-foot business incubator builds upon the work of predecessors such as the RISE Demonstration Center and HIVE, which have invested knowledge, social, and financial capital into low-to moderate income entrepreneurs with the mission of increasing equity and economic opportunity in this long-underserved area of the city. Nucleus will leverage public and private investments to generate jobs and provide a healthy and equitable working space for local entrepreneurs.
