Reconnect focuses on young people who are at risk of, or in early stages of, homelessness by supporting reconnection to family, school, community, and natural supports.

What it does
Reconnect works before homelessness becomes entrenched, treating disconnection from family, school, and community as a prevention concern.
Who it serves
Youth who are couch-surfing, newly precarious, disconnected from school, or moving toward crisis.
Where schools fit
Schools can notice disconnection and help connect young people with trained community workers earlier.
What remains
Reconnect depends on trust, trained workers, local service capacity, and youth consent.
