            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The YouthBuild Transfer Act of 2006 (Transfer Act), PL 109-281, transfers the YouthBuild program from the HUD to the DOL.  The transfer incorporates technical modifications and amends certain program features.  The Employment and Training Administration is proposing new regulations which will govern its administration of the YouthBuild program.

The Transfer Act maintains all the goals of the YouthBuild program as originally developed under HUD, including supporting the development of affordable housing, but shifts the emphasis to skills training for youth participants.  The Transfer Act makes the YouthBuild program consistent with the job training, education, and employment goals under the Workforce Investment Act, PL 105-220, as amended.  This includes authorizing DOL to apply the common performance measures developed for Federal youth activities employment and training programs.  The Transfer Act authorizes education and workforce investment, such as occupational skills training, internships, and job shadowing, as well as community service and peer-centered activities.  In addition, the Transfer Act allows for greater coordination of the YouthBuild program with the workforce investment system, including local workforce investment boards, and One-Stop Career Centers, and their partner programs.  These strengthened connections will enhance the job training and employment opportunities available to participating at-risk youth.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
