A Way Home: National Housing Strategy Recommendations
The causes and conditions of homelessness are different for young people (Canada WIthout Poverty & A Way Home Canada, 2016: 4). While some youth leave home because of domestic disputes, others become homeless because of systems failures that turn them out to the streets (eg. child welfare, corrections), and for many this will be their first time leaving behind socially dependent relationships (2016). Solutions to address youth homelessness must therefore be tailored to meet the specific needs of youth.
