Youth Homelessness

Youth homelessness refers to young people, typically aged 16 to 24, lacking stable, permanent housing, often due to factors like family conflict, economic hardship, mental health issues, or housing shortages. Without a safe place to live, they may rely on temporary arrangements, shelters, or live on the streets, which can impact their health, education, and future opportunities. Addressing youth homelessness requires understanding its complex causes and providing supportive services like affordable housing, mental health care, education, and employment resources to help young people achieve stability and independence.
