In 2020 we launched a dedicated effort to learn more about legal issues surrounding unaccompanied minors experiencing homelessness. This project was intended to guide both organizations’ ongoing work and advocacy and develop resources to help the field better prevent and end homelessness among minors.
This toolkit includes:
• Key issues and challenges for minors experiencing homelessness;
• Strategies and lessons learned from advocacy for state minor consent to services laws (including questions to consider);
• Legal issues and considerations relevant to host homes for minors;
• Working towards equity while serving minors;
• Child welfare and youth homelessness; and
• Additional legal and policy issues.

Which neighborhoods in America offer children the best chance to rise out of poverty? The Opportunity Atlas answers this question using anonymous data following 20 million Americans from childhood to their mid-30s. Now you can trace the roots of today's affluence and poverty back to the neighborhoods where people grew up. See where and for whom opportunity has been missing, and develop local solutions to help more children rise out of poverty.
