Foster Youth Experiencing Homelessness in Texas: An Analysis of Risk and Protective Factors that Impact Housing Stability
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: While research on youth homelessness continues to grow, not much is known about the differences that exist between states. To address specific concerns effectively, a more nuanced and granular approach to assessment is needed. Specifically, Texas youth who are transitioning from foster and other systems of care into young adulthood and more independent living will need tailored support to adequately address their needs. This study is a step in that direction. Through identification of risks factors that predict homelessness for these youth, social workers, counselors, case managers, and other human services providers and advocates can better assess, plan, and intervene in the most effective evidence-informed ways with youth in transition.
