WHAT WOULD IT TAKE?<br />
2. SYSTEMS PREVENTION<br />
When young people were asked what would have prevented their homelessness, many youth<br />
traced these experiences back to system failures. Systems failures refer to s<strong>it</strong>uations in which<br />
inadequate policy and service delivery w<strong>it</strong>hin and between systems contribute to homelessness<br />
for young people. Importantly, many youth felt that systems change is where prevention efforts<br />
could be most effective. Youth identified clear policies, practices, and approaches in all systems<br />
that could dramatically reduce a young person’s chance of becoming homeless.<br />
