Where are the beds? housing locations for transition age youth exiting public systems / [electronic resource] Christina C. Tam, Bridget Freisthler, Susanna R. Curry, & Laura S. Abrams. - pp. 111-119.
Transition age youth (TAY) from the child welfare and juvenile justice systems experience high rates of homelessness, but little is known about the neighborhoods to which they return after they exit these systems. This exploratory study investigates whether housing options are located in areas where TAY exit public systems and if the characteristics of areas surrounding these facilities support their transition to adulthood. Results show that housing is not related to areas where TAY exit public systems. Further, supportive housing and shelter density is related to low-income areas. Implications for practice and policy on housing locations for TAY are discussed.
