Bringing Youth Homelessness Into Focus 

California continues to experience dramatic increases in homelessness, driven by the state’s high housing costs, mental and behavioral health crises, lack of alternative housing options, and inadequate and expiring supportive programs. Within the state’s large and growing homeless population, children and young adults are an often overlooked and particularly vulnerable group.
This KidsData webinar provided an update on the state of youth homelessness by showcasing the latest data, illuminating information gaps, and sharing innovative solutions-all structured and informed through an interactive discussion with a young person with lived expertise on homelessness.
