Thousands of low-income young people will return to school and begin new careers in the homebuilding trades because of $58 million in grants announced today by Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson. The grants are part of HUD's Youthbuild Program to offer job training and leadership skills to an estimated 4,300 young people while putting them back on a path toward graduation. These grants will also help train them for a future in the construction trades while producing nearly 2,000 homes for lower income families, many facing homelessness.
