"We have more collaboration, youth involvement and critical insights than ever - and the urgency is greater than ever - as youth face mounting challenges to overcoming homelessness. With what we're building, we're in a promising position to address obstacles and accelerate solutions as we move into developing the plan to end youth homelessness in 2026."
