Please join us at this meeting where we will present research on homeless youth in Houston/Harris County, and then seek your input. This meeting of the Homeless Youth Network is held collaboratively with Houston Area Partners for Youth, TNOYS’ Houston-area policy work group, is open to any parties who are interested in hearing from our expert speakers and engaging in TNOYS’ policy efforts on behalf of Houston’s youth. No RSVP required.

In order to better target interventions for the diverse population of homeless youth, policymakers and researchers have articulated a need for data-driven typologies that delineate subgroups with potentially different service needs, based on identifiable risk and resilience factors. Eva Thibaudeau from the Coalition for the Homeless of Houston/Harris County will share results from a new study that used data from Houston’s survey of homeless young adults to identify distinct subgroups of homeless young people, and what this research could mean for screening and service planning.

Using the new research, and providers’ own insights, HYN Consultant Courtney Noble will  conduct some regional system modeling to help inform the type and amounts of housing needed across the region.
