The partnership will expand career pathways for transitioning service members, veterans, and their families pursuing careers in housing, construction, and the skilled trades.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Home Builders Institute (HBI) and Invitation Homes Inc. [NYSE: INVH] today announced a new partnership to expand career opportunities for transitioning military service members, veterans, and their families as part of Invitation Homes' existing Invitation to SkillUp initiative.

HBI

By investing in HBI's Military Services program, Invitation Homes will support hands-on, instructor-led training, industry-recognized certifications, and job placement support for those interested in pursuing careers in construction, property maintenance, and related skilled trades.

Through this partnership, HBI and Invitation Homes will work together to:

Connect HBI-trained veterans, military spouses and family members with career opportunities in the build-to-rent and single-family rental industries.
Expand recruitment efforts at HBI's Military Services sites, including Fort Stewart, Georgia, and Jacksonville, Florida.
Engage Invitation Homes' Veteran Employee Resource Group in mentorship and career guidance opportunities.
Highlight success stories of veterans, military spouses and family members whose lives and careers have been transformed through training and employment opportunities.

"Veterans and their families have dedicated themselves to serving our country, and we are proud to support them as they transition into rewarding civilian careers," said Invitation Homes President and CEO Dallas Tanner. "Through our Invitation to SkillUp initiative, we are investing in talented individuals whose dedication and service strengthen our communities, while helping create meaningful opportunities in the skilled trades."

"For a decade, HBI has trained, certified, and placed transitioning military members, veterans, and their families in careers in the skilled trades," said Home Builders Institute President and CEO Ed Brady. "Almost 90% of our military program graduates are placed in jobs earning, on average, more than three times the federal minimum wage. We know this model works, and with this important investment from Invitation Homes, we can help more veterans enter the skilled trades every year because the people who served this country deserve a career as strong as their service."

Invitation to SkillUp is Invitation Homes' national skilled trades development initiative. Through partnerships with trade schools and organizations across the United States, the program works to expand skilled trades education and increase awareness of the value of careers in the skilled trades.

Invitation Homes is the latest national company to invest in HBI's military programs, which continue to gain momentum across the industry. The Home Depot Foundation and DEWALT were among the programs' earliest supporters, and the recent $1 million gift from Google, followed now by Invitation Homes, shows the growing appetite among industry leaders to help veterans and their families build careers in the skilled trades.
