Youth Sports Facilities Act of 2024

This bill expands federal funding eligibility under the Public Works and Economic Development Act to include youth sports facilities. It directly affects low-income rural communities, children lacking access to sports facilities, and communities facing high rates of opioid use or violence. Key provisions require funded projects to address sedentary lifestyle health impacts, prioritize underserved rural areas, and serve children from low-income families without adequate facility access. The bill also mandates that projects support economic development and job creation through youth sports infrastructure in communities lacking such resources.
