Homeless young adults aged 18 to 24 have the advantage of being able to sign their own leases but often need help leasing an apartment and paying for rent until they are able to afford it independently. This workshop will examine scattered-site transitional housing programs and rapid re-housing models that help young adults rent their own apartments as well as connections with employment opportunities so young adults can stabilize long term.

The powerpoint presentations for this workshop are available for download above.
