A new brief from Enterprise explores the unique housing barriers facing transition age youth (TAY) and examines how housing and education partnerships can connect youth to vital services. In this Q&A interview with Brooklyn Williams, chief of education and community safety in Oakland, Calif. , we learn about an innovative career and technical education hub designed with and for young people to serve the city's TAY.
In this issue brief, Enterprise explores the housing needs of TAY and the barriers they face in accessing services and examines efforts to connect youth to the housing bundle through cross-sector partnerships. A case study of one such collaboration in Oakland, California’s Alameda County is included.
