The National Alliance to End Homelessness recently introduced a new framework for ending youth homelessness.

 

An Emerging Framework for Ending Unaccompanied Youth Homelessness

When working to end homelessness for a particular population it has proven effective to define a framework by enumerating the population, establishing a typology to assist with scaling of resources, and then to measure progress. While there are great programs doing work with youth, an overall framework has not previously been defined. This brief provides an examination of data on homeless youth, estimates of the number of homeless youth across a typology, and gives a summary of promising strategies to more effectively end youth homelessness.
