This webinar will provide resources to help you and your community break down legal and policy barriers impacting youth experiencing housing instability. You'll hear from a youth advocate and their attorney about the importance of engaging a lawyer and how that can be a game changer in removing hard stops and barriers affecting youth, whether it's a criminal issue, an access issue, or preventing eviction/increasing stability - and more!

You'll also learn about the importance of state and local advocacy work and how anyone can get involved to remove policy barriers affecting youth and to rewrite/create good policy supporting youth. We will share free resources to support you and your community, including the revamped Homeless Youth Legal Network directory of legal services, an active listserv of advocates, as well as the recently released Model State Statutes publication.
