 we operate. We hire locally, employing 1,750 dedicated full-time associates, as of December 31, 2024, and contracting with thousands of professional service vendors nationwide. We also take good care of our homes. In 2024, we spent approximately $425 million upgrading, improving, and maintaining our wholly owned homes, which we believe increases the value of surrounding houses and neighborhoods. In 2024, we paid approximately $410 million in state and local taxes; money that was invested back into local programs and services, schools, and more.

Community Engagement

We believe our value of Genuine Care should extend beyond the walls of our offices and drive our desire to be a good neighbor in each of our communities. While we serve under a company-wide mantra of “go do good,” much of our community engagement is locally driven. As such, we empower our associates to make an impact in the communities where they live and work through volunteerism and through recommendations for contributions to local charitable organizations.

Skilled Trades Initiative

Our Invitation toSkillUpprogram encourages students to pursue high-demand and well-paid jobs in the skilled trades and provides job-readiness training to help close the skills gap and broaden access to career opportunities in fields that directly impact our business. We have partnered with ten schools across our core markets, with plans to expand to 16 schools over the next several years. By providing funding to trade schools across our network, we can directly help people learn trade skills. At the same time, we seek to educate business partners and the general public about the skills gap and to shift perceptions about trade careers.

Green Spaces

Our Green Spaces community initiative is dedicated to the development and improvement of outdoor community spaces in our markets. In 2024, we provided grants to restore and expand a community garden in south Florida and to install an outdoor health and wellness space for a women’s center in northern California. We will continue to pursue more partnerships that enhance outdoor community spaces and conservation efforts in the communities where we operate.

Centers for Leadership Excellence

Invitation Homes supports the Centers for Leadership Excellence, a program designed to connect students, universities, and hiring companies in order to create a replicable, scalable model that encourages students from varied backgrounds to pursue education and careers in real estate.

Talent and Human Capital Management
