"In order to end youth homelessness, communities must be able to provide stable, flexible and age-appropriate housing and services to all youth in need. This system should target young people currently experiencing homelessness, as well as at-risk youth and families. In other words, prevention is a critical component of an effective community response.

The realization of a fully-resourced, youth-centric system depends on needs-based investments from both the government and philanthropists. At the same time, it requires the removal of existing eligibility barriers that prevent youth from accessing the housing and services they need. In the process of creating this system, federal and local leaders must work together to improve cross-systems planning and collaboration." - National Network for Youth
