8 Years ago, we were invited to share #HF4Y model for the first @FEANTSA youth study session. It's an honor to now be back that very same room planning “youth work to make housing first for youth work” study session. Thank you @YouthCOE for your ongoing support!

Last week, 41 states and 9 countries came together in Seattle for @hfpartnersconf. @SteveGaetz & @MelanieRedman shared #MakingTheShift's research outcomes from the #HousingFirst for Youth (#HF4Y) demonstration sites which have shown to increase positive outcomes for young people.

A key element of the Housing First for Youth (HF4Y) program model is the need to shift away from the current emphasis on emergency responses to #homelessness and place a greater emphasis on #prevention!

Edmonton has dealt with some simmering tensions of late.
Sometimes, it may even feel like it's too much to bear.
But today, this city put its entire heart out on the table for one amazing woman, and the country took notice.
Edmonton, you're a gem.
