At-risk of losing their housing

Imminently Losing Housing

Literally Homeless

Youth currently in housing, are experiencing housing instability, frequent moves, living in homes of others, being evicted from dwelling, living in hotel or motel and severe overcrowding. Most providers and many funders also consider couchhopping as homeless.

Youth are currently housed and not literally homeless, but are imminently losing there housing, lack the resources or support to retain current housing

Youth living in places not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodations for human beings, including cars, parks, abandoned buildings, bus or trains stations, airport or camp grounds. 3
