Through dynamic partnerships with local training organizations, Urban Homeworks equips women, men and youth with the skills needed for gainful employment in the construction industry. Using our sites as a classroom, skilled trainers take participants through a training program that teaches them the basics of construction such as tool usage, construction techniques, theory and basic job skills. The work has varied from gutting out distressed properties, to building ICF foundations and framing, using advanced construction techniques. Starting salaries in the construction and carpentry trades are much higher than typical entry-level jobs. Training addresses the income side of the affordable housing equation.
