Youth homelessness is a pressing issue in Canada. Nearly 40% of homeless youth have experienced homelessness before the age of 16. Traditional responses focus on crisis intervention. But what if we could use data to prevent homelessness before it happens?
PolicyWise for Children & Families, collaborating with the University of Lethbridge, has created a roadmap to guide how we collect, use, and share data to prevent youth homelessness in Canada.
This initiative is part of Making the Shift, a Youth Homelessness Social Innovation Lab, dedicated to fostering systemic change.
