“You’re never going to get a second chance if someone doesn’t give you a second chance” perspectives and experiences of landlords and advocates on implementing HOME among youth experiencing homelessness
Implementation of supportive housing for YEH with legal system involvement is shaped by financial, relational, and place-based factors. While guaranteed rent and advocate support facilitated landlord participation, stigma, rigid lease structures, and short program duration posed persistent barriers. Findings highlight the need for tailored, multi-level strategies that address structural inequities and promote long-term housing stability.
