Which "TAY community spaces" are we talking about? The Hive, HYA NX, Larkin Street, etc? Challenges are hours of availability (afternoons only, staffing challenges reducing TAY space availability, general staffing challenges related to lower pay for direct service providers, etc). "TAY" only goes up to 24 for some organizations, so older members of this population get left out of the support they still need.

Considerations around TAY using fentanyl-- young folks getting absorbed in the crowd. Police presence. TAY intentional spaces like Larkin. There are very few community spaces for TAY. Does Larkin sometimes silo young people? Age limits where folks can no longer access services, for example after 25.

Challenges include not being on site at times where clients are there.

Often clients are out during the day or asleep. I believe after normal work hours (9-5) are when most youth are inside at the TAYNAV.
