2021 TA Application

Each year, nearly 1 million young people become involved with law enforcement and/or the justice system. In some cases, this involvement may be due to lack of shelter or other necessities. This can sometimes occur when a young person is arrested for a curfew violation due to lack of stable housing, or when they are arrested for theft for stealing food, or money to buy food. In other cases, youth who are arrested and released (either through a diversion program or after spending time in a juvenile detention facility) may experience homelessness because they are either unable to return to their families due to restrictions imposed by landlords or public housing authorities, or because families are unwilling or unable to have young people return due to family conflict.

To address the intersections between youth homelessness and juvenile justice, CJJ designed the training and technical assistance program Collaborating for Change: Addressing the Intersections of Youth Homelessness and Juvenile Justice. This opportunity will provide selected communities with additional training and technical assistance related to the intersections between the youth homelessness and juvenile justice systems.

What role if any has juvenile justice played in your work to address youth homelessness up to this point? *

Choose three (3) principles for change you would like to focus on if selected to participate in this project. *

Laws and policies do not lead youth experiencing homelessness to be cited, arrested, or charged for survival acts or “quality of life” offenses.

Young people are diverted from juvenile justice system involvement whenever possible, and diversion programs or services meet the needs of youth experiencing homelessness

Comprehensive transition planning begins immediately after—and continues throughout—a youth’s confinement or probation supervision

Community has both long- and short-term safe housing options available for youth who are, or have been, involved with the juvenile justice system.

Community provides youth and their families with related services and supports that can help them obtain and keep safe and stable housing.

Youth, and their families, are not kicked out of their homes or denied housing because the youth have been arrested or adjudicated for a delinquency offense.

Youth help lead and shape the identification and implementation of policy and practice solutions to address the connections between juvenile justice and youth homelessness.

Efforts prioritize lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth, gender non-conforming (GNC) youth, youth of color, and other over-represented populations to address and reduce the disproportionalities in both systems

Law enforcement, courts, schools, and service providers employ gender-responsive and age- and culturally appropriate trauma-informed responses when working with youth.

Undertake and fund research to help better understand the issue of youth homelessness and identify solutions.
