Youth Reconnect Program Guide

The Youth Reconnect Program Guide, authored by Stephen Gaetz, Erika Morton, Meryl Borato, and Chad Story, outlines a community-based early intervention program aimed at preventing youth homelessness. Published by the Canadian Observatory on Homelessness, the guide emphasizes the importance of keeping at-risk youth connected to their families, communities, and schools, and strengthening their natural support networks. Drawing on the principles of Housing First for Youth and the successes of similar programs in Australia and Niagara, this guide provides comprehensive insights into the program’s structure, objectives, and the essential conditions for its implementation.
