Why Your Support Matters

Each year, millions of young adults across the U.S. face housing insecurity, often due to circumstances beyond their control—family rejection, systemic inequality, aging out of foster care, or losing a job. In fact:

1 in 10

young adults ages 18–25 experience some form of housing insecurity annually

89%

of unhoused young adults are Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC)

​

40%

of young adults experiencing homelessness identify as LGBTQ+​
