How to support youth experiencing homelessness

What is it about?

This paper reviews the research literature on youth experiencing homelessness with special attention to the challenges of meeting both social and mental health needs of this highly vulnerable population. We examine strategies that have worked to support youth experiencing homelessness and make suggestions on how providers and policymakers might continue to advance interventions to support these youth toward stable lives with permanent housing.
