Expanding Affordable Housing Solutions in the South

The lack of policies and legislation to ensure affordable housing and transportation access to all Southerners has both created and exacerbated the youth homelessness crisis. Hear about the challenges to access affordable housing and the innovative leaders and advocates on the ground working to overcome these barriers through the power of Southern community. Attendees will learn how folks in the South are creating affordable housing, connections to transportation, employment, and child care in ways that holistically support youth.
