The National Homelessness Law Center and True Colors United released the 2022 State Index on Youth Homelessness in mid-November. This update measures and analyzes the systems, environment, and laws of all 50 states and D.C. as they relate to preventing and ending youth homelessness. The Index paints a broad picture of where states currently stand in these categories and how they can collectively and individually improve their efforts to end and prevent youth homelessness.

In this webinar the authors will explain the methodology behind the State Index and do a deep dive into the data to help policymakers and advocates think about what changes they can make to existing policies, systems, and services towards ending and preventing youth homelessness at the state level.

The webinar will also feature a short and interactive presentation that will allow participants to explore the difficult choices unhoused youth and young adults make. Webinar will examine the reasons for the impossible choices these youth face and discuss ways to improve the climate for youth in every state.
