Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, one in 10 American young adults ages 18 to 25, and at least one in 30 adolescent minors ages 13 to 17, experienced homelessness on their own over the course of a year. The current economic crisis and family stress related to shelter-in-place orders are creating new waves of youth homelessness. In the wake of the pandemic and school closures, unaccompanied youth experiencing homelessness face greater barriers to accessing and completing higher education, including barriers to financial aid. Yet higher education remains their best opportunity for economic independence and healthier lives.
