The challenges for youth experiencing both homelessness and justice system involvement are interconnected. They stem from structural inequities, system failures, and power imbalances that directly lead to the marginalization and discrimination of young people in Canada. Fourteen solutions emerged from this project, which are consistent with literature that highlights the bidirectional relationship of youth homelessness and justice system involvement. The project’s three strategic problem areas (service eligibility and access; policy and funding alignment; and, coordinated service delivery and engagement) framed the analysis for answering this study’s research question: “How can identified linkages between youth justice involvement and homelessness support improved policy outcomes as they relate to homelessness prevention?”
