Abstract

Over 4 million unaccompanied minors and youth experience homelessness yearly in the US, yet their voice is largely silent in national surveys. Thus their needs are little accounted for in policy and planning. Research studies of youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) rely primarily on convenience samples in a single geographical area, generally large cities. Youth-engaged methods are needed to ensure the inclusion of a large and diverse population of youth from a broad geographic area. In order to assess the needs of youth in San Francisco and Alameda Counties, we conducted a pilot online survey, the COVID-19 Youth Impact Survey, employing Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR).
