Supporting Homeless and At-Risk Youth – Collaborative Approaches
Innovations in addressing youth homelessness
Sacramento Campus
Homelessness is a pervasive and complex problem impacting all California communities. As counties across the state are implementing innovative and collaborative solutions to address this issue, they are finding that homeless and at-risk youth are a unique subset of the homeless population and therefore need equally unique approaches and interventions. This class will engage participants in a discussion on many facets of youth homelessness including root causes and identification of homeless youth, school/county partnerships, foster youth, truancy and economic development. Attendees will hear from experts in the field along with lessons learned from counties implementing promising and successful programs.
Instructors: County Supervisors and experts from the Institute for Local Government.
