A recognized leader and advocate for the elimination of youth and young adult homelessness in Connecticut, Partnership for Strong Communities (PSC) believes stable housing is the bedrock upon which people build their lives and is essential for strong, vibrant communities. This funding supports PSC’s efforts to ensure young people are not criminalized for experiencing homelessness and that those who do come into contact with the justice system have access to safe, stable and secure housing upon their release. To do this, PSC will work with judicial branch staff and other state agencies to implement a housing survey for system-involved youth and use the survey’s data to inform changes in policy and practice.
