We invite you to become part of the solution in creating a statewide agenda that addresses the comprehensive needs of this population and ensures no youth fall through the cracks. Over the past few years, the Baltimore Homeless Youth Initiative has been exploring these issues and recently commissioned the Legal Aid Bureau of Maryland to write a report on the laws and regulations that contribute to youth homelessness. Many of these laws and regulations are state-based. This forum will provide the opportunity to learn how these issues impact youth across the state, to find out what people are doing in other jurisdictions and to build allies for statewide policy changes.
