About Us

Youth and Allies Against Homelessness (YAAH) is a research team based in i4Y (Innovations for Youth), a Berkeley School of Public Health research center. YAAH is made up of youth community interns with lived experience of homelessness, undergraduate and graduate students who have experienced homelessness and/or who have demonstrated a commitment to ending homelessness, and a faculty lead.

YAAH members are:

  • Committed to uplifting the voices of youth experiencing homelessness and working towards creating tangible change.

  • Involved in all steps of study design, implementation, community outreach, analysis, dissemination, and manuscript writing. 

  • Committed to sharing all research results with youth and key stakeholders to inform improved and inclusive policies and services for historically marginalized youth.
