About 4.2 million people between the ages of 12 and 24 experience some form of homelessness each year in the United States, according to the
National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty. Adult ISH host
Nyge Turner connects with
Emi Nietfeld, who wrote “
Acceptance,” about her experience navigating being unhoused while studying at Harvard University. Emi shares resources that can help young people manage housing insecurity and explains why youth homelessness is less about personal responsibility and more about a preventable systemic problem.
