A bill to reauthorize the YouthBuild program, and for other purposes.

This legislation aims to reauthorize the YouthBuild program, a federal initiative designed to help at-risk young adults earn their high school diplomas or equivalency while learning construction and other professional skills. By extending the program, the bill proposes to continue providing funding for community-based organizations that offer job training, leadership development, and housing construction experience to participants. If enacted, the bill would ensure that federal resources remain available for programs that help young people who have dropped out of school or face other barriers to employment. The practical impact would be the continued support of local projects where participants build or renovate affordable housing for low-income families, thereby gaining technical certifications and improving their long-term career prospects. The bill has been referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions for further consideration.
