This animation presents the findings from a coaching and rent subsidy study.

This study examined the effects of financial and identity-based support for young people who had experienced homelessness. All 40 participants received rent subsidies, and half were randomly selected to also receive coaching. The coaching intervention focused on empowering youth by enhancing their identity capital, including purpose, control, self-efficacy, and self-esteem.

The study was funded by our Making the Shift Youth Homelessness Social Innovation Lab.
