Evidence
H.R. 8333, introduced in the House on April 16, 2026, is titled the YouthBuild for the Future Act. The bill was referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce and states it is "To reauthorize the YouthBuild program, and for other purposes."
The press release says Congresswoman Jahana Hayes and Senator Ed Markey reintroduced the YouthBuild for the Future Act and that the legislation "would authorize $1 billion for the YouthBuild program over six years" and "Authorize a total of $1 billion for YouthBuild programs for Fiscal Years 2027-2032."
GovInfo records H.R. 8333 as introduced in the House on April 16, 2026, referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and titled "To reauthorize the YouthBuild program, and for other purposes."
Assessments
Jahana Hayes materially advanced the promise by reintroducing the YouthBuild for the Future Act, H.R. 8333, on April 16, 2026, explicitly seeking to authorize $1 billion for YouthBuild for fiscal years 2027 through 2032. But the available official record shows only introduction and referral to the House Committee on Education and Workforce, with no committee passage, floor passage, or enactment. Because the promised authorization has not yet been achieved, this cannot be scored as delivered or partial delivery; it remains unresolved as of the evidence provided. Her sponsorship and public promotion do justify an effort badge.
Hayes materially advanced the promise by reintroducing H.R. 8333, the YouthBuild for the Future Act, on April 16, 2026, with language authorizing $1 billion for YouthBuild programs for fiscal years 2027 through 2032. However, the available federal record shows only introduction and referral to the House Committee on Education and Workforce, with no passage or enactment. Because the measure remains pending rather than defeated or completed, the promised authorization has not yet been delivered but should not be marked as failed.
