The Crisis is Growing
Over 205,000 young people under 25 experienced homelessness in 2024—a 29% increase from the year before. Nearly 150,000 of them were children, facing a devastating 33% spike in homelessness.
Young People Aging Out of Care Are Especially Vulnerable
Between 22% and 46% of youth leaving foster care become homeless by age 26. For many, it happens immediately—within days of losing state support.
On the Streets, Danger Follows
Homeless youth face extraordinary risks. Between 19% and 40% fall victim to human trafficking. Sexual assault rates reach 21-42%—20 times higher than the general youth population.
These aren't statistics. They're children who deserve safety, dignity, and a future.
This is why we're here. This is why we must act now.
