Regional Capacity Building Session Series
Too often, young people impacted by homelessness slip through gaps in support when systems are not designed to meet their unique needs. Thanks to support from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), TNOYS is hosting events in communities across Texas to learn about needs on the ground and build capacity for stronger, more coordinated systems of care for young people experiencing or vulnerable to homelessness.
