i4Y is excited to announce a partnership with Covenant House to explore opportunities for more effective youth homelessness prevention practices and policies. Through youth-partnered and youth-centered community-engaged research, this project seeks to offer insights into promising practices, opportunities for improved public policy, and necessary changes within systems that impact all young people. By hearing directly from youth about supports and services that could have helped them to avoid (or reduce) homelessness experiences as well as related trauma and adversity, the project will meaningfully elevate their voices and expertise within the larger dialogue around prevention in the United States and Canada. Stay tuned for more updates in early 2024! To learn more about this partnership, read this document here.
