In The USA there are anywhere between 300,00 to 400,000 homeless youth between the ages of 18-24. These come from various issues in our community. The first being abuse or neglect at home. This can leave a child emotionally and mentally traumatized and without the right abilities once they become adults to fend for themselves and are instead pushed onto the street. This being the biggest threat to homeless youth is no surprise, but it can be combatted in a very different way then what we see on the fight against homelessness in general. The way to combat the former is to put more funding into social programs that help at risk youth This being programs like CPS and the Big Brother Big Sister Program. I believe that these programs can significantly reduce homelessness in you as well as homelessness in adult populations.
