The Massachusetts Youth Count is a biannual survey sponsored by the Massachusetts Unaccompanied Homeless Youth Commission to learn about the scope, needs, and demographics of youth and young adults under the age of 25 who were unstably housed or experiencing homelessness.

The Youth Count partnered with youth, young adults, providers serving youth and young adults experiencing homelessness, Continua of Care, and other community partners to conduct the survey. Youth Count provided opportunities for young people to utilize their leadership skills in planning and administering the count, and for participants to connect to resources and services.

The insights and data gathered from the survey process were used to influence advocacy and programming to address youth and young adult homelessness.

​

Massachusetts Youth Count 2024 was conducted this past spring! If you were under the age of 25 and were unstably housed or experiencing homelessness, you could have taken the Youth Count survey between Monday, April 1st, and Saturday, May 4th. 

The data from the 2024 Massachusetts Youth Count is available now at the link above.  We'll be back at it with the next round of surveying in 2026. Your insights and experiences matter, and we can't wait to continue this important work with you!
