Youth Homelessness

Youth homelessness is shaped by a range of social, economic, and structural factors that can disrupt young people's pathways into adulthood. Experiences of homelessness during adolescence and early adulthood are associated with poorer health, education, employment, and social outcomes, highlighting the importance of timely, evidence-informed responses. Our research works alongside service providers, policymakers, and young people to evaluate programs, understand what works, and generate evidence that informs more effective responses to preventing and ending youth homelessness.
