We're going to have another different type of epidemic of homelessness and housing instability, and then the stresses of that in our mental health.
Imagine trying to attend school from the backseat of a car or a crowded motel room. This was the reality for many homeless youth when COVID-19 hit, and organizations like Reach and The Coffee Oasis had to think on their feet. In this eye-opening episode of 'Youth Today News', you'll hear from Marlon and Julie, who share how their teams adapted to the unprecedented challenges brought by the pandemic.
From setting up online support groups to delivering essential supplies directly to those in need, these organizations found creative ways to keep their services running. The episode dives into the nitty-gritty of how they managed to continue their outreach, the role of government grants and private funding, and the impact of these innovations on homeless youth.
Whether it's discussing cash assistance programs or hybrid models for future operations, this episode sheds light on the resilience and resourcefulness required to support vulnerable populations during a crisis. If you're interested in youth welfare or want to understand the behind-the-scenes efforts that go into helping homeless youth, this episode is a must-listen.
