The facts about youth homelessness:
- 4.2 million young people experience homelessness each year.
- 1 in 30 youth (13-17 years of age) will endure some form of homelessness in year = 700,000 per year.
- 1 in 10 transitional age youth (18-24 years of age) will endure some form of homelessness in a year = 3.5 million per year.
- 40% of homeless youth identify as LGBTQ+ and state family rejection on the basis of their LGBTQ+ identity as the #1 contributing factor to homelessness.
- Within 48 hours of leaving home, 30% of youth will be recruited for human trafficking.
- 35% of youth who experience homelessness were formerly in the foster care system.
- Youth facing homelessness are 3x more likely to attempt suicide, 4x more likely to contract STI’s, and 10x more likely to drop out of school than their stably housed peers.
We are ending youth homelessness by providing critical services that build a supportive community around young people, amplifying their voices and celebrating them as they grow.
