Abstract

This project will review youth homelessness services in the lead up to and during COVID-19, as well as the subjective experiences of youth at risk of homelessness during this time. Both aspects will be used together to inform planning for a potential second wave, as well as planning for the recovery period following COVID-19 and planning for future public health emergencies. A central question is: How did the new Youth Coordinated Access Table adapt considering COVID-19?
