Hearing the Unhoused: How to Really Help Homeless Youth

About 4.2 million people between the ages of 12 and 24 experience
some form of homelessness each year in the United States,
according to the National Law Center on Homelessness
& Poverty. Adult ISH host Nyge
Turner connects with Emi Nietfeld, who
wrote “Acceptance,” about her experience
navigating being unhoused while studying at Harvard University.
Emi shares resources that can help young people manage housing
insecurity and explains why youth homelessness is less about
personal responsibility and more about a preventable systemic
problem.
