Youth Homelessness Prevention in Ireland & Northern Ireland

In 2022, the Irish Coalition to End Youth Homelessness launched a bold national strategy to prevent and end youth homelessness. This strategy takes a comprehensive approach—working to prevent young people from becoming homeless in the first place (including ensuring no young person exits public systems like care or justice into homelessness), improving the quality of emergency accommodation, and supporting young people to exit homelessness and thrive long-term.
