This survey is designed to identify state law and policy changes that could improve services and outcomes for youth experiencing homelessness. Unless otherwise specified, “youth” means someone from 12 to 25 years old. The survey asks some questions specifically about youth on their own (unaccompanied by a parent/legal guardian), and some questions about youth who may be on their own or with their families.
The survey should take 5 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous. We will use the responses to identify priority areas for state law advocacy. They will form the basis of discussion and planning at a State Advocacy Institute later this year. The State Advocacy Institute will consist of hands-on training on state policy advocacy and the development of a State Advocacy Plan, which will identify legislative and/or administrative policy changes we will pursue in the next legislative session (and beyond).
If you are interested in attending the State Advocacy Institute (there is no fee), please contact patricia@schoolhouseconnection.org. We appreciate your time in completing this survey and invite you to share the link with others.
