Missed Opportunities: Pregnant and Parenting Youth Experiencing Homelessness in America
Dworsky, A.; Morton, M. H.; Samuels, G. M.
Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago
This Research-to-Impact brief is the third in a series by Chapin Hall's Voices of Youth Count on understanding and addressing youth homelessness. It details the unique challenges faced by young people experiencing homelessness who are pregnant or parenting. The brief's findings suggest that many of the nearly 4.2 million adolescents and young adults in America who experience some type of homelessness during a 12-month period are pregnant or young parents. Many of those young parents are homeless with their children, and pregnant and parenting youth experiencing homelessness are a particularly vulnerable population. Supporting these young people and their families is critical to ending homelessness among youth in the U.S.
