Ending youth homelessness

TGTHR (pronounced together) is a social movement and non-profit working with courageous communities across the country to end youth homelessness. For youth between the ages of 12-24 we provide employment assistance, education programs, supportive housing, short-term housing, long-term housing navigation, support and inclusivity groups, family coaching services, life-skills development, mental and physical wellness support, and an array of individual and group activities.

One in five kids struggles with mental health, and only about 20% ever get care. Dr. Lisa Hunter Romanelli, CEO of The REACH Institute, has spent 19 years closing that gap with a deceptively simple model: train the pediatricians kids already trust, and one trained provider reaches hundreds of children a year.

Inside this Stories That Fill the Hope Gap episode, Lisa shows how leading with the solution (not the crisis) transforms the way donors and partners respond. A blueprint for turning a public health problem into a story that feels solvable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASjvpR1XzzM&t=1s

"In recent years, the terms “unhoused,” “houseless,” “housing insecurity,” and “housing instability” have gained popularity in public conversations about homelessness. While most public discussions on homelessness are centered on single adults, many children, youth, and families also experience homelessness, and these terms are increasingly used to refer to them.

Our intent is not to tell people what to say or how to talk about homelessness. Language evolves, terms fall in and out of popularity, and people adopt the words they hear around them. We write here to explain the choices we have made, because language shapes perception, and perception informs action. The words we use influence how people understand an issue and what, if anything, they do about it.

“I was only 9 years old when our house got foreclosed. I thought it was just going to be another couple of months and then we would have a house of our own. But that didn’t happen. Ever since then, I’ve kind of been house-hopping, couch-hopping and living in motels, doing what I need to do to live. I’m never houseless, but I’ve always been homeless.”– Paige, 18

Every week, we shop at Community Food Share and stock the food pantry at 1440 Pine and our Drop-In Resource Center with fresh produce, pantry staples, and snacks.

"Our partnership with TGTHR helps reduce barriers and makes it easier for people to focus on their health, housing, and next steps forward," said Kim Da Silva, CEO of Community Food Share.

Food is often one of the first things young people lose access to when they're navigating homelessness. A stocked pantry means a resident at 1440 Pine has one less thing to worry about while working toward independence. At the Drop-In Resource Center, a young person can grab a snack alongside a conversation with a case manager, no questions asked.

To date, Community Food Share has given TGTHR 25,183 pounds of food, valued at $48,000, and we are incredibly grateful for partners like them!!

DD spent months bouncing between couches, cars, and places that weren't always the safest during their freshman year at CU. As a transgender teen, coming out had cost them their housing at home, and every place after that felt temporary too.

"I stopped unpacking my bag. I figured I'd be moving again soon."

That changed when Cate, our Outreach Manager, got a call from a professor at CU asking if we could help a student of theirs. Cate's role is to meet young people where they are, on the street, in shelters, wherever they've landed, and start building trust. Sometimes that takes time. For DD, that meant someone finally asking what stability would actually take, and then doing the work to get them there.

DD is now in subsidized housing for one year. They're continuing their studies part time, and for the first time in months, they're unpacking for good. This is what happens when a young person is met with support instead of a system that keeps moving them along.

"Having my own space changed everything. I can actually think about next year instead of just tonight."

Our partners at National Network for Youth discuss the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which became law this month and is one of the most significant bipartisan housing reforms in decades. It's not aimed at young people specifically, but it tackles something that touches every young person we work alongside: the severe shortage of affordable housing.

More affordable units matter for youth in real ways. They mean less competition for the few affordable homes that exist. They mean young parents and their kids can find stability. They mean a young person aging out of foster care or leaving a shelter has an actual place to land, instead of cycling back into homelessness.

While this law doesn't set aside units for young adults experiencing homelessness, it is still a terrific achievement, and this is where communities and developers can choose to set aside units for youth, build partnerships with youth-serving providers, and pair housing with the support services that make tenancy sustainable.

Staff spotlight on Gianna! Gianna consistently goes above and beyond to support both tenants and staff across TGTHR. They’re a true collaborator — partnering with different teams to make sure everyone, from youth to staff, has what they need to thrive.

As Peer Support Specialist at our 1440 Pine complex, Gianna plays a key role in facilitating community in the building with tenants and bringing their voice to the decision-making table, ensuring youth feel heard, safe, and respected.

Gianna’s thoughtful presence and commitment to centering youth voices make an incredibly meaningful impact in our programs, and the trusting relationships they form are crucial to each young person's journey. They’ve become a trusted and safe presence for so many tenants, creating a space where youth feel comfortable opening up and sharing their experiences.

Gianna approaches every interaction with empathy, understanding, and care, and provides safe options and resources when needed. Their ability to listen deeply and respond with compassion truly embodies TGTHR’s values.

👏 Thank you, Gianna, for the steady support, leadership, and heart you bring to TGTHR every day!
