A Way Home Canada recently submitted this pre-budget submission which asks the federal government to consider a Federal Youth Homelessness Prevention strategy. 

The Youth Strategy under Reaching Home presents an opportunity to transform how we, as a collective, approach youth homelessness. To do this, we can shift from managing the youth homelessness crisis, which puts youth at risk, to an approach that considers the well-being of young people, assisting them in safely transitioning to adulthood.

This can be done using the four key pillars of youth strategy activities: community planning and systems coordination; program and practice model adoption; training and technical assistance; and, finally, equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI).
