Concerns have been raised about how little youth homelessness has been addressed in Budget 2025, as well as how funding is being allocated, that will impact vulnerable rangatahi and tamariki. Boot camps have received a $33 million boost over four years to create more camps, $1 billion has been stripped from emergency accommodations, and 18 and 19 year olds are set to have their Jobseeker and emergency benefits tested against their parents.  News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to Aaron Hendry - the co-founder and general manager at Kickback; an organisation aimed at tackling youth homelessness, about Budget 2025, and how youth homelessness should have been addressed in the Budget.

Oregon has the highest rate of unaccompanied, unsheltered homeless youth in the nation, according to some recent federal data. But in some ways, these young people are invisible. They might be couch surfing or living out of a car, and many face homelessness when they age out of the foster care system. But these might not be the people you think of when you think about people experiencing homelessness. OPB reporter Tiffany Camhi recently did a deep dive on the unique challenges facing young people who are homeless.

Housing affordability has been one of the biggest political issues over the last two years since inflation, mortgage rates and rental prices started spiralling. The plight of those trying to buy a home or struggling to pay the rent has focused the attention of many politicians. But what about those who don't have a roof over their head at all? The housing crisis has forced some – even with full-time jobs – to sleep in their cars or in tents in local parks. And then there are kids with low or no income at all who just can't stay at home for various reasons but are left couch surfing, or sleeping rough – at a critical time when they should be supported and learning life skills. So what happens when you're homeless? Where do you turn?

Eventually, he reached a dead end. Later, as a legislative aide in Washington's House of Representatives, that experience inspired him to propose a "no-wrong-door access point" for young people in similar situations, like exiting foster care, the juvenile justice system, or in-patient behavior health treatment.

Reno's primary youth shelter for people aged 18-24 experiencing homelessness or otherwise at risk is Eddy House, a facility designed to bring together a variety of services under one roof. There are low barrier drop-in beds available, therapists and case workers, a residential program, and more. The founder of Eddy House, Lynette Eddy, joins hosts Conor McQuivey and Ember Braun this week to discuss the origins of the organization, the life experiences that led to her involvement in helping at-risk youth, the value of a housing first model, providing services along with housing, and much more. We also discussed Lynette's recently released book, "The Fight Inside: Winning the Battle Between Your Ego and True Spirit." After her husband's death by suicide in 2010, Lynette has studied and shared her understanding of the ego voice inside us that criticizes and attacks, and the positive and affirming voice of our true spirit. Her book is part biography and part self help, modeled on her "open heart mindfulness" approach.  Learn more about Eddy House at their website https://eddyhouse.org/ and learn more about Lynette's other work and her book at her website https://www.lynetteeddy.com/ If you have suggestions for future guest or topics, please email conor@renoites.com  You can also visit the Renoites booth at the Riverside Farmer's Market most Sundays! The market is every Sunday from 8-1 at Idlewild Park in Reno. Conor will be there most Sundays for the coming months to be available for conversations with members of the community, record mini episodes with local vendors, and stickers and t-shirts are also available!

Homelessness is unfortunately all too common. We, however, may not see just how prevalent it is around us, especially among the youth. Their homelessness is sometimes hidden behind their dirty clothes that we too easily chuck up to laziness. One man who comes from a broken home saw the need and responded. Listen to Andy's interview with Les Talvio, the founder and Executive Director of Cyrus Centre, to hear about how his own upbringing in a broken home opened his eyes to the needs of the homeless youth, and the kind of impact the Cyrus Centre is making.We thank Northview Community Church for helping us film this interview.Cyrus Centre

Today we discussed the misconceptions surrounding youth homelessness and how people can get more involved in making a change. In speaking with someone who works directly with the youth, we break down a lot of stereotypes and effective ways to help and make a difference both big and small. The main cause of teen homelessness is physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse from parents or guardians. Here's a closer look at the numbers: • 46% reported being physically abused • 38% reported being emotionally abused • 17% reported being forced into unwanted sexual activity Adolescents aging out of foster care are also at extreme risk of homelessness with around 50% becoming homeless within 6 months of leaving. This is largely due to a lack of education, social and financial support. They are often ill-prepared to live independently. The numbers paint a sad story. Homelessness is taking a heavy toll of America's youth who are at a much higher risk of physical abuse, sexual exploitation, substance abuse, mental health issues, and death. In America today, over 20,000 kids are forced into prostitution every year, and 5,000 unaccompanied youth die as a result of assault, illness, or suicide. https://mendculture.org - Click the link here to get more involved!

At one point in my youth, I left a mental hospital against medical advice because I had tickets to see Motley Crue. I figured if I was alive, I was going to that show. There's a longer tale about how I got home and the reaction of family and friends, but the net result is that I was kicked out of my house. I was homeless. Thankfully, I had neighbors who gave me a couch for a few days while I figured shit out, so I never had to live on the streets, but I thought that might be what happened. Through college and beyond, friends and I sometimes slept in city parks or hotel stairwells while traveling because we were broke. But that had a sense of adventure and playfulness, nothing like actual homelessness. I share this because I want to talk about homelessness, specifically Youth Homelessness. And I don't just want to talk about it. I'm going to do something about it and let you know how easily you can as well. In the United States, 4.2 million young people will face homelessness this year alone. Kids can end up on the streets because their home isn't safe or they are battling addiction, depression, or any mental health challenge. Living on the streets doesn't help any of it. Homelessness can lead to worse addictions, sex trafficking, and suicide. Covenant House, is a charitable organization that I've donated to for years. They empower young people to overcome homelessness by providing them safe housing, food and clothing, and relentless support. No one is ever turned away without support of some kind. And their services and programs are available at no cost. https://www.covenanthouse.org Perhaps you are wondering. Why is he talking about Covenant House so much? Because, for the first time, I'm an active participant in their annual fundraiser, the Sleep Out. The Sleep Out happens on November 17 around the world. People give up their beds for one night to raise money to get more kids off the streets for good. Please consider donating to my Sleep Out at https://www.sleepout.org/participant/andygrant By searching for my name, you can also find me on the sleepout.org home page. I'm talking about this because a planned guest had to cancel at the last minute. Today is October 7, and moments ago, I discovered that October 10 is World Homeless Day, so this is very synchronistic. Sleep Out is our chance to shine a light on the youth homelessness crisis and raise critical funds that help Covenant House provide young people with around-the-clock support. The awareness and funds raised translate to things like new sheets, computers, meals, and best-in-class care for youth overcoming homelessness. visit https://www.sleepout.org Donate to me at https://www.sleepout.org/participant/andygrant By searching for my name, you can also find me on the sleepout.org home page.
