on Unstably Housed Youth in New York City
Director of Human Exploitation and Resilience, Meredith Dank, and her co-authors have published Understanding the Needs of Unstably Housed Youth in New York City, a white paper produced with funding from their National Science Foundation project, “Disrupting Human Trafficking via Needs Matching and Capacity Expansion”:
Given the challenges of youth accessing services and service providers engaging those who do seek assistance, youth may decide to sleep unsheltered, stay with unsafe individuals, or enter precarious situations to meet their basic needs, increasing their vulnerability to exploitation and trafficking.
The purpose of this study is to learn from unstably housed youth which services would be most helpful to better connect them to services that best fit their needs, thereby decreasing vulnerability to trafficking.
