Summary

This volume is intended to highlight the best of Canadian research on youth homelessness. The book is organised in a thematic way, so that there are separate sections relating to: 1) pathways in and out of homelessness; 2) housing; 3) health; 4) mental health and addictions; 5) employment, education and training; 6) legal and justice issues; and 7) diversity and subpopulations. Each chapter is accompanied by a short, plain language summary that captures the key themes. In addition, some sections include ‘promising practice’ summaries of effective program responses from communities across Canada.
