Preventing and Ending Youth Homelessness: A Coordinated Community Response

September 18, 2015

In Opening Doors, we set a national goal to prevent and end youth homelessness by 2020. To get there, it will take everyone - government, non-profits, business, and philanthropy - to make sure every community has the capacity to achieve the goal. Preventing and Ending Youth Homelessness, a Coordinated Community Response provides a preliminary vision for such a response. It draws upon what we know works to end homelessness for other populations, along with strategies that support the unique needs of unaccompanied youth and young adults under 25.
