Abstract:
Youth homelessness is a major public health issue that impacts millions of youth across the United States, with a disproportionate impact on LGBTQ + youth and youth of color. This study engaged adults who work at youth-serving organizations (YSO) in New Britain, Connecticut to better understand the perspectives and experiences of administrators and frontline workers serving youth experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic.
