New Research on Youth Homelessness
November 21, 2017 | Emily Taylor
A recent report from Voices of Youth Count (VoYC), a national research initiative on youth homelessness led by Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago, provides estimates that at least 700,000 adolescents between the ages of 13 and 17 (or 1 in 30), experience homelessness in a given year. For young adults ages 18 to 25, the number is higher: 1 in 10 don’t have a place to live.
