Latest Blog: "The Impact of Homelessness Amongst BIPOC Millennials"

Factors that are connected to homelessness among this age group include financial challenges, high student loan debt, lack of access to and education of social service resources, and the delay in adapting to adult roles and responsibilities (Dreyer, 2018)."
