More than 3.5 million youth in the U.S. experience homelessness each year.
Point Source Youth will prevent and end this crisis.
Our Mission.
Point Source Youth envisions a world where all young people can enjoy the right to safety, stability, and joy. We believe that youth should be trusted to direct their own lives and that leadership by and advancement of the young people most impacted by the crisis of homelessness is paramount.
We further believe that our society has a moral obligation to collectively amass ample resources to end youth homelessness. To that end, we work alongside communities and partners to uplift the power of young people, especially historically marginalized young people by advancing meaningful and affirming solutions to end youth homelessness and place resources directly in their hands.
In PSY’s Vision of the world…
The organization will be known for implementing new, and improving existing, programs and interventions so that the power of young people is uplifted by advancing meaningful and affirming solutions that place resources directly in their hands.
We will provide community, affirmation, and a safe space for service providers, funders, youth, allied movements, and policy makers to experiment, explore, and innovate.
As a group that demands hope, acts with courage and integrity, and builds real and lasting connections among the extended local and national youth homelessness community, Point Source Youth will prevent and end this crisis.
We work to scale-up affirming youth-centered solutions to end this crisis .
