Engaging Youth Experiencing Homelessness

This publication describes practices and services that HCH agencies have found to be helpful in engaging youth experiencing homelessness. It is not a guide on street outreach for youth experiencing homelessness 1 . It is not evaluative or, strictly speaking, a proven “best practices” document, but it captures elements deemed to be essential by practitioners in the field. The information presented here is derived from discussions of the Engaging Homeless Youth Advisory Work Group credited above, discussions in a daylong training during the 2014 National HCH Conference and Policy Symposium, responses to a survey of the field, detailed interviews with six HCH grantees, and a review of the literature.
