i4Y Co-director Prof. Coco Auerswald and the graduate and undergraduate students of the Ending Youth Homelessness Catalyst Group are releasing their report "On the COVID-19 Front Line and Hurting: Addressing the Needs of Providers for Youth Experiencing Homelessness in Berkeley and Alameda County." 

Together with the School of Public Health Community Action Team (CAT), i4Y Co-director Prof. Coco Auerswald authored the critical report "For the Good of Us All: Addressing the Needs of Our Unhoused Neighbors During the COVID-19 Pandemic." Read the full report here and view the press conference here.

Professor Ozer (PI), along with our i4Y affiliate from UC Berkeley School of Social Welfare Susan Stone (co-PI) and SFUSD Supervisor of Research & Evaluation Norma Ming (agency PI) as well as many other collaborators, have initiated a cross-disciplinary and cross-sector Research-Practice Partnership (RPP) to enhance SFUSD research utilization and improvement routines by incorporating youth voice and youth-led participatory action research (YPAR), with particular efforts focused on the current COVID-19 crisis in K-12 education. 

 i4Y and the UC Berkeley School of Public Health COVID-19 Community Action Team have released a series of short videos and COVID-19 Triage Tool for providers working and caring for youth who are experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic. These videos serve as a resource for the people at the front line of caring for youth experiencing homelessness across the country.
