Furthering Equity in the Family and Youth Services Bureau: Racial Equity and Youth Homelessness

This September 21, 2021 webinar, convened by the Family and Youth Services Bureau, focused on racial equity and youth homelessness. The session discussed the pathways into and out of youth homelessness, which disproportionally affect African American and Latino youth. The webinar highlighted the inequities and challenges that youth experiencing housing instability face every day, how we got here, and what we must change to start addressing the inequities. The webinar featured a presentation from Bryan Samuels, the Executive Director of Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago and former Commissioner of the Administration on Children, Youth, and Families (ACYF) from 2009 to 2013.
