The document discusses how to end youth homelessness in San Francisco. It notes that over 1,100 young people ages 12-24 experience homelessness on any given night in San Francisco. Common causes of youth homelessness include abuse, family rejection, time spent in the foster or justice systems, and family poverty. The organization Larkin Street has helped over 75,000 young people move past homelessness since 1984 by providing housing, healthcare, education, employment support, and other services. Their goal is to reduce youth homelessness in San Francisco by 50% over the next three years.
