Item Open Access Youth Homelessness in Canada: Implications for Policy and Practice(Canadian Homelessness Research Network, 2013) Gaetz, Stephen; O'Grady, Bill; Buccieri, Kristy; karabanow, jeff; Marsolais, AllysonYouth homelessness is a seemingly intractable problem in Canada. In communities across the country, people are increasingly aware of the sight of young people who are without a home, sleeping in parks, sitting on sidewalks or asking for money. What do we know about these young people, and what should we do? Youth Homelessness in Canada: Implications for Policy and Practice aims to fill a gap in the information available on this important issue by providing an easily accessible collection of the best Canadian research and policy analysis in the field. If we are going to solve youth homelessness in a meaningful way, we need solutions that are informed by the best research. This book has been written with this in mind. In this volume, leading Canadian scholars present key findings from their research on youth homelessness. In an effort to make this research accessible as well as relevant to decision-makers and practitioners, contributing authors have been asked to address the ‘so whatness’ of their research; to make clear the policy and practice implications of their research so as to better inform the efforts of those working to address youth homelessness. The contributors to this book are committed to supporting the development of more effective solutions to youth homelessness. Not only can we do things differently, we need to. And research on youth homelessness can help make a difference.Item Open Access Youth Homelessness in Canada: Implications for Policy and Practice(the Homelessness Hub, 2013) Gaetz, Stephen; O'Grady, Bill; Buccieri, Kristy; karabanow, jeff; Marsolais, AllysonThis book aims to fill a gap in the information available on young people who are without a home, sleeping in parks, sitting on sidewalks or asking for money.
