Many coordinated access systems (CAS) do not link young people with services beyond housing. This is a problem because services and systems outside of the housing and #homelessness sectors are essential for intervention and prevention efforts.

One challenge associated with the #FNS approach is that youth experiencing homelessness may choose to maintain unsupportive/unhealthy relationships. If this occurs, FNS staff should honour the young person’s choice in a way that's safe/trauma-informed: https://t.co/RrG73FrLx0
