HBI-PACT Program Licensing Fee – MOU Between Habitat Chapter, School or Home Builders Association (License Holder) and the Home Builders Institute (HBI)
The Home Builders Institute’s Pre-Apprenticeship Certificate Training (PACT) Program curriculum teaches students the skills and knowledge they need to be employed in an entry-level or semi-skilled job within the residential construction trades. Students who graduate from an HBI-licensed PACT program will receive an industry-recognized pre-apprenticeship credential that qualifies them for employment in the construction industry.
High schools, community colleges, vocational and technical schools, non-profit organizations (such as Habitat for Humanity chapters) – to name a few – that partner with a Texas home builders association are eligible to apply for a PACT curriculum license.
This grant application is open to schools (secondary, vocational, college level), non-profit organizations (such as Habitat for Humanity chapters), and home builders associations.

The Home Builders Institute (HBI) has partnered with the Texas Builders Foundation to provide curriculum licenses at a reduced fee to organizations that partner with a Texas home builders association.
