Ep 27: Tackling Youth Homelessness in Waterloo

Youth homelessness is an issue that can be hard for many people to grasp. What is homelessness? How does it differ for youth? What are its causes? What can be done? What misconceptions do we hold? In this episode, Vanessa tackles these questions with Sandy Dietrich-Bell, the CEO of oneROOF Youth Services, in Waterloo. They chat about root causes, biases, and the challenges that must be faced in helping youth experiencing homelessness. You can support oneROOF by participating in EWB UWaterloo's Shelter a Youth Fundraiser raffle, open until March 25. Or, check out oneROOF's website for ways to help! Any feedback? Questions?
