Homeless youth

Young homeless people in the Netherlands

These girls and boys hop - often through no fault of their own - from couch to couch, sleeping outside on the street or in shelters. Often they fight an unequal battle on multiple fronts. And they need tailored help. The problem is huge and is not recognised everywhere, not even by the responsible authorities.

 

In 2016 I first heard about the existence of young homeless people. I was shocked and wanted to know more. It hurts to see what it does to them to be homeless and how they struggle to get proper help.
