Washington State Reduced Youth Homelessness 40% and You Can, Too
September 4, 2:00 pm ET
Washington State reduced homelessness among unaccompanied youth and young adults by 40% after launching a concerted campaign to do so in 2016. While we will not rest on our laurels, we celebrate this life-saving success, especially in the context of the regression represented by the Supreme Court’s ruling on Johnson v. Grants Pass.
Join this discussion to hear the funder perspective on Yes to Yes, a lauded public-private partnership. After an overview of what the project accomplished (a previous webinar provided more detail), we will focus on how funders worked in collaboration and adapted to feedback in real time, highlighting the cross-system (education, criminal-legal, foster care, etc.) work that proved essential. The conversation will elevate any transferable lessons funders in other states can embrace, which include strategies applicable across all age groups of people living with housing instability.
Cosponsored by Funders Together to End Homelessness, Grantmakers for Thriving Youth and Youth Transition Funders Group.
