For the August UpRoot, UpRise, ReBuild, Dr. Xellex Rivera discusses the urgent issue of homelessness among millennials of color. Dr. Rivera states: "Homelessness among Millennials raises new concerns in communities of color. 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)."
