Join us for a morning of learning and inspiration as we highlight Connecticut’s progress in ending youth homelessness and strategize about what is needed to finish the job!
- Review the latest research on youth homelessness with Dr. Matthew Morton of Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago, principal investigator of the groundbreaking study, Voices of Youth Count.
- Hear directly from youth and young adults who have experienced homelessness and are now working as researchers and advocates in the field.
- Connect with state leaders and learn about Connecticut’s plans to end youth homelessness, including opportunities to get involved in 100-Day Challenges in your community.
