A National Strategy to Solve Youth Homelessness

(The consultation paper is available in French)

The paper was presented and group discussions of the draft were held. The final document should be released in February 2009. Comments are to be incorporated into the final strategy document.

Some limitations of the document:
- not culturally inclusive
- rural communities were excluded
- not an action document
- lacking definitions
- in the Strategy Checklist: Family breakdown is not inclusive enough, such that many youth cannot stay in their family home. It must include a broader support network piece
- strategies and best practices are not defined
