HOMELESS HUB REPORT SERIES - REPORT #3
Family Matters: Homeless Youth & Eva's Initiatives Family Reconnect
Program 
by Winland, Daphne; Gaetz, Stephen; Patton, Tara
Young people become homeless largely because of challenges they
experience within their families.  We know well that conflicts within
family - whether related to abuse, mental health, or addictions issues
of either young people themselves or other family members - often lead
young people to the streets.  Because of this, most street youth serving
agencies largely ignore the potential role of family members in helping
people make the transition to adulthood. There are some exceptions, and
one of these is the Family Reconnect program of Eva's Initiatives in
Toronto. In the report, Family Matters, this program is examined to
evaluate how reconnecting with family may help some young people avoid
long term homelessness.  In doing this review, the authors raise some
important questions about the Canadian response to youth homelessness.
They argue for a rather radical transformation of this response, one
that reconsiders the role of strengthened family (and community)
relations in preventing and responding to youth homelessness.

Health of the Homeless and Climate Change

It is estimated that 1% of Toronto's population use a shelter each year.
Homeless people are amongst the most vulnerable groups in developed
regions, and suffer from higher rates of chronic disease than the
general population. Homeless people carry a disproportionate burden of
the effects associated with climate change.
