The Youth Sports Facilities Act of 2024 would expand federal grant eligibility under existing economic development programs to include youth sports facilities. The bill amends the Public Works and Economic Development Act to allow communities to apply for federal grants to build or improve youth sports facilities, particularly in low-income, rural, and underserved areas. When reviewing grant applications, federal officials would consider factors like whether projects would address obesity and sedentary lifestyles, create jobs, support economic development, and serve children lacking access to sports facilities, especially in communities affected by opioid addiction or violence. The legislation would affect local governments, nonprofits, and communities seeking to invest in youth recreational infrastructure but lacking sufficient local funding. No specific funding amounts or timelines are included in the bill text.
