Title: Is the Safety Net Big Enough and Strong Enough for Homeless Youth? Abstract: An estimated 750,000-2 million youth (adolescents and emerging adults) are homeless in the U.S.; 150,000 of them are in Texas. These young people leave home for a variety of reasons ranging from a desire for independence to parental abuse and neglect. Once they make their homes on the street, in a car, or under a bridge, they face innumerable challenges to their health and well-being. This presentation will address the variety of challenges to the physical and mental health of Texas youth who are homeless and review findings from a recent study of Texas youth who identified challenges and made suggestions for changing policies and providing resources that could serve as a larger and stronger safety net for this vulnerable population.
