I think well-resourced primarily means "people power" or "power by numbers" -- by this definition, I think we can look to a lot of models (i.e., Movement for Black Lives, #MeToo, the Reproductive Rights movement, and other social movements with a human-centered mission and aim). These have derived their respective "successes" in large part through popular political education, storytelling and the vulnerability of those directly impacted by them, and the persistence of their collective vocal advocacy.

The most vulnerable youth and young adults are almost always not able to be in the room/at the table because they are in crisis. These voices aren't truly heard until/if their situation improves, which is a shame because their input is most valuable and would ideally be centered at all times.

This version, updated for the 2024 calendar year, has transitioned what were originally policy position statements into full policy recommendations. These are reflected, as such, in Policy Recommendations 4-6.

The following policy recommendations and position statements are put forth by A Way Home America's (AWHA) Youth Policy Team (YPT). We are a team composed of seven young people from across the country working to build youth-centered housing justice.

The priorities in this agenda stem from AWHA's New Deal to End Youth Homelessness , a federal policy framework that offers a roadmap to transform how youth and young adults, particularly Black, Brown, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC), and LGBTQ+ young people, can be supported to thrive in our society.

Consistent Legislative Funding: Since 2006, the Massachusetts Legislature has consistently appropriated funds to support the Shannon Community Safety Initiative, ensuring stable and ongoing financial resources dedicated to reducing gang violence across the state.

Extensive Reach and Collaboration: The initiative currently funds 15 geographic sites encompassing 25 communities across Massachusetts. This extensive reach is supported by 138 partner organizations and 130 full-time equivalent positions, enabling widespread and coordinated efforts to address gang violence.

Evidence-Based, Multi-Sector Approach: Modeled after the OJJDP Comprehensive Gang Model, Shannon CSI employs a data-driven, multi-sector strategy that involves a thorough needs assessment and the development of targeted strategies by a dedicated steering committee. This approach ensures that resources are effectively utilized to address the specific needs of each community.
