Massachusetts Youth Count 2024 is almost here! The 2024 survey will take place from Monday, April 1stâTuesday, April 30th.
The Massachusetts Youth Count is an annual survey sponsored by the Massachusetts Unaccompanied Homeless Youth Commission to learn about the scope, needs, and demographics of youth and young adults under the age of 25 who are unstably housed or experiencing homelessness. The Youth Count partners with youth, young adults, providers serving youth and young adults experiencing homelessness, Continua of Care, and other community partners to conduct the survey. Youth Count provides opportunities for young people to utilize their leadership skills in planning and administering the count, and for participants to connect to resources and services. The insights and data gathered from the survey process are used to influence advocacy and programming to address youth and young adult homelessness.
The survey goes live on April 1st! To learn more about Youth Count 2024 and to access the survey tool in different formats and languages, visit https://tinyurl.com/mayc2024. Share the link and help us spread the word!
