There is a subset of homeless youth who have mental health and substance abuse disorders, may have lived on the streets for significant periods of time, and have significant barriers to obtaining and maintaining housing. In order to end youth homelessness and protect these youth from significant dangers on the street, it is essential to engage them, house them, and keep them housed. This workshop will feature programs that are successfully engaging youth and maintaining that engagement through specific strategies.
The powerpoint presentations for this workshop are available for download above.
