Requity Foundation Inc

An intermediary, aligning people, ideas, and resources to catalyze city change. Requity’s Carver House project trains vocation students to renovate vacant rowhouses into affordable green homes. Located directly across the street from the historic Carver Vo-Tech trade school, the Carver House enables Requity to align project learnings with vocation curriculums. By applying classroom lessons to authentic work, students in carpentry, construction design, electrical, masonry, and business are trained, equipped, and experienced for construction jobs and career pathways. The purpose of the pilot is to develop and test net-zero construction curriculum, place talent, and create a scalable framework. The project intersects education with climate action and home ownership. In December of 2024, Requity won first and the grand prizes in the Department of Energy Community Energy Innovation Prize.
