Increasing Access to Information and Resources for Youth

Increasing access to information and resources for youth refers to implementing programs and strategies that aim to bring
resources and information closer to youth experiencing homelessness. It includes community awareness campaigns, coordinating
effective online communication strategies, ensuring consistent and centralized information so that every provider is sharing the same
or similar information with youth, using local peer networks and advertising through youth-friendly venues, holding magnet events,
and training staff about resources available to youth. Communication and dissemination strategies can include information about
homelessness, help youth identify risks, and inform youth about available supports if they are in crisis (14). These strategies are
particularly well-received when they include a peer-led component (14).Implement strategies to increase information access for youth.
