🗣️ Youth Voice Wednesday: Put Youth at the Table

Programs and policies meant to help young people experiencing homelessness work best when the young people they're meant to serve help shape them. That means creating real seats for youth with lived experience in program design and policy decisions.

This is priority #3 in MCCOY's youth homelessness white paper, and it's one of the most direct ways young people can be involved in the systems built around them.

📣 Take Action Tuesday: Fund Crisis Supports Before They're Needed

Young people experiencing a housing crisis need somewhere to turn before that crisis becomes homelessness. Centers like the FYI Center provide safety and stabilization at the moment it matters most — but that only works if they're funded to operate around the clock.

MCCOY's youth homelessness white paper calls on Marion County to protect and fund 24/7 crisis supports as a first line of defense.

Here's how you can help:
📞 Contact your state legislator and ask them to prioritize funding for youth crisis centers.
