In this episode, we’re exploring what it means to be young and homeless. We start with the story of Conor, a youth with lived experience who was able to break out of the cycle of homelessness, and is now a student at Mohawk College. Conor tells us his story, from his leaving home before his sixteenth birthday to finding his footing in a transitional housing program. Next, we examine youth homelessness in Canada through the lens of a new report, Coming of Age: Reimagining the Response to Youth Homelessness. For this, we speak with Stephen Gaetz, the director of the Homeless Hub and one of the authors of the report. We talk about the report, how he sees it being received, and whether Canadians are ready to turn ideas into action when it comes to solving youth homelessness. And we wrap up the podcast with Mary-Jane McKitterick of Eva’s Initiatives. She’s already integrating the findings of the report into her own work, so we check in with her about that and what other organizations can take away from Coming of Age.
