The planned Human I-T storefront will offer low-cost Chromebooks, laptops, desktop computers and tablets, along with low-cost internet options, free tech support and digital skills training. The announcement came during Digital Inclusion Week, a national initiative highlighting digital inclusion efforts across the country with the aim of spreading awareness about digital resources and campaigns to end the digital divide. In the fall of 2022, Human I-T announced the launch of their first ever retail location in the country, to open soon in our hometown of Detroit.

Until recently, there was no brick-and-mortar location anywhere in the country for Human-I-T to sell devices directly to residents. Second, Human-I-T refurbishes the devices for resale, using the profits to provide new devices to underserved communities. First, they keep e-waste out of landfills, reducing pollution and conserving natural resources. That’s equivalent to the weight of 56 cars! In 2022, Rocket Companies donated 41 pallets containing 231,223 pounds of e-waste. We also work with Human-I-T to schedule pickups in our other office locations. Through our partnership, Human-I-T picks up around 10 to 20 pallets of e-waste from our Detroit offices every quarter. Human-I-T opened their Detroit warehouse with the support of Rocket Community Fund in 2020, and Rocket Companies is currently the largest donor of e-waste in Detroit. One of our key partners in tackling this important work is Human-I-T, a nonprofit that recycles e-waste in the form of digital devices which are then refurbished and donated to residents who need them. As a part of our housing mission, we are laser focused on increasing access to the internet and digital devices in Detroit. Housing resources and access to finance is often exclusively available online. Unfortunately, far too many Detroit residents are caught in a “digital divide,” excluding them from opportunities afforded to those with the ability to get online.ĭigital inclusion is also a fundamental component of housing stability. That’s why reliable access to high-speed internet, digital devices and digital training is essential. Virtually every aspect of our lives requires some degree of digital connectivity, from education and employment to healthcare. Impactful Human I-T Partnership Helps Bridge Digital Divide & Supports a Greener Planet Some team members, like Executive Trainer Noah Amos, even brought along a special “reading helper” – his daughter, Harper – to join in the activity! Brilliant Detroit shares the recordings with the children enrolled in their programs, and this experience quickly became on of our most popular volunteer opportunities. In addition to the book drive, we partnered with Brilliant Detroit to offer our team members a fun virtual volunteer experience reading books to children. In just a little over a week, Rocket Companies team members donated over a thousand books to participating nonprofits, totaling over $12,000 worth of reading material for children in underserved communities. In Detroit, the fundraiser benefitted the Children’s Center in Phoenix, books were directed to the Roosevelt School District in Cleveland, team members supported Starting Point and in Charlotte, books were donated to Promising Pages. In 2022, we hosted our first virtual book drive, giving our team members the opportunity to donate books and support literacy-focused nonprofits in each of our home communities.Īll nonprofit partners were selected by our United Way affiliates in each market. March is National Reading Month, and we wanted to celebrate with a unique volunteering and fundraising opportunity.
