YouthBuild states its goal as primarily serving low-income people between the ages of 18 and 24, who want to work toward higher education while learning job skills by building affordable housing for homeless people. The Huntington West Virginia Housing Authority provides primary local sponsorship for YouthBuild. Additional funding is provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment, and Training Administration.
