YouthBuild provides economically disadvantaged youth with education and employment skills through opportunities for meaningful work, in their communities, by helping to meet the housing needs of homeless individuals and members of low-income families. With funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the program is designed to provide on-site housing construction and rehabilitation work experience and off-site academic classes, job skills training, leadership development, and supportive services for young adults, primarily high school drop-outs with ages ranging from 18-24. In addition to benefiting the youth participants, the program will also increase the supply of permanent, affordable housing for homeless and low-income families.
