“If you ask any person what led them to #homelessness, it could be any number of things... The solution always starts with housing. However, youth also need supports to help them transition to adulthood and thrive. This is Housing First for Youth #HF4Y.” -Cora MacDonald

"To develop a prevention-based response to #homelessness, we need to focus on youth and their pathways into homelessness." Stay tuned for key learnings from this afternoon's insightful session on #YouthHomelessness prevention! #CAEH23

COH Researcher Nathan Okonta highlights a key consideration for research among Black youth: "I had to be intentional in having conversations and building relationships with youth, rather than conducting interviews, to learn their stories." #CAEH23

Brianna, a former HF4Y and Aftercare program participant, shared how difficult it is to access supports when a youth ages out of being able to access “youth” services. She adds, “Transitioning from youth to adult services is like a slap in the face." #CAEH23 #YouthHomelessness
