Title: Stronger Youth and Smarter Communitieis: An Analysis of Oregon's Investment in Runaway and Homeless Youth Programs
Summary: The Oregon Runaway and Homeless Workgroup estimates that 24,000 unaccompanied youth experience homelessness each year in Oregon. Oregon is home to innovative runaway and homeless youth services, but these rely heavily on federal funds and are available primarily in the I-5 corridor. Youth in rural areas, or smaller towns unable to access federal funds, are at risk. To address this problem, the 2007 Oregon State Legislature apppropriated $1 million to the 2007-2009 budget of the Oregon Commission on Children and Familiies to enhance, expand, or develop services and supports for previously un-served runaway and/or homeless youth. The funding allocated enabled the Commission on Children and Families to "roll out" services in 8 counties. This report provides an evaluation on some of the short-term and outcomes of this investment.
