Every year, an estimated 1 in 10 youth between the ages of 18 and 25 experience homelessness in the U.S.. A new rapid rehousing program in Detroit – designed by youth, for youth – is providing housing and wraparound services for young adults.
To explore and highlight this work, University of Michigan Poverty Solutions and the Detroit Phoenix Center produced a documentary — Rapid Rehousing Designed By Youth, For Youth — and hosted a screening and panel that discussed the future of youth homelessness response in Detroit. About 45 service providers, policymakers, and other stakeholders attended the event, held at the U-M Detroit Center on May 1.
