Patterns of Youth Homelessness in Toronto
February 28, 2014
Youth are mainly driven to the streets for reasons that are beyond their control and are forced into situations that are unsafe and threatening, says Homelessness Hub. There are clear patterns in the ways that youth become homeless and in their leaving the streets. Youth become homeless mainly because they have little choice, having been kicked out of their homes, or fleeing situations of abuse; or being released from foster care.
