| Abstract: | Shelter and housing interventions provide residential facilities or rental assistance along with other services. Despite the substantial policy focus on shelter and housing interventions to address youth homelessness, few studies of shelter and housing interventions for youth met in inclusion criteria. The Voices of Youth Count initiative's systematic evidence review is the most comprehensive synthesis of evaluation evidence on programs and practices related to youth homelessness to date. This document is one in a series of seven topical evidence summaries derived from the longer evidence review brief. Evaluations of shelter and housing interventions for youth experiencing homelessness are summarized. The evidence includes only impact evaluations designed to assess measurable changes in outcomes due to specific programs and practices. Other kinds of evaluation, including assessments of program implementation, processes, or participant experiences, will be summarized and reported elsewhere.
