Homeless Youth Census Event

Last Date:


Are you or someone you know currently couch surfing? Looking for a place to stay, or possibly experiencing homelessness?

 If you are younger than 25 and answered yes to any of the questions above, we want to hear from you.

 The District of Columbia Department of Human Services in partnership with our youth homeless services providers will conduct a Homeless Youth Census (HYC) from August 17 to August 25, 2015, to better address needs and identify gaps in services for youth experiencing homelessness.
