Why Youth Homelessness?
According to the 2017 We All Count, there was a total of 1150 homeless youth (24 years old or younger) in San Diego County in 2017. Out of the 1150 people counted, 68 were under the age of 18.

Homelessness, specifically for youth, is a serious problem that often is ignored. Homeless youth are considered the "hidden population" due to them often being under counted in annual homeless counts. This is why I chose to do my project on Youth Homelessness. I want to raise awareness for the issue and the help change the negative stigma surrounding homelessness.

Homelessness is a serious issue here in San Diego County, but there's a lot of ways you can get involved.
