A Collective Vision

The New Deal framework was developed by A Way Home America’s (AWHA) network of policy Co-Conspirators committed to racial equity, leading with the demands, ideas, and expertise of young people from across the country. Each pillar of the New Deal will be co-created with youth and young adults, providers, policy makers, and advocates from around the country, followed by town hall discussions to unpack and refine the work. We invite you to join us in this process. You can sign up for our newsletter to stay involved.

A Comprehensive Approach

Ending youth and young adult homelessness will require transformation and re-orientation toward justice in the nation’s major systems serving young people—systems currently rooted in structural racism. Click on the housing justice pillar below to learn more. The remaining pillars will have a staggered release as they are collaboratively built with youth and young adults and other AWHA partners during the first half of 2021. You can sign up for updates through our newsletter below.

Proposals within each pillar will offer a roadmap toward system transformation, balancing a long-term commitment to equitable transformation with urgent, actionable reforms that move us closer to that end state.
