Abstract

This project asks how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected processes of social exclusion and inclusion for homeless young people. It aims to advance the understanding of how pandemics shape the risks and accessible welfare resources for young people with experience of homelessness through three international case examples. The knowledge developed in this comparative study will help to improve how social service organisations' respond to new or intensified needs of young people living in homelessness.
