Oregon has the highest rate of unaccompanied, unsheltered homeless youth in the nation, according to some recent federal data. But in some ways, these young people are invisible. They might be couch surfing or living out of a car, and many face homelessness when they age out of the foster care system. But these might not be the people you think of when you think about people experiencing homelessness. OPB reporter Tiffany Camhi recently did a deep dive on the unique challenges facing young people who are homeless. She brings us some of the voices from her reporting as well as the details about a new program set up specifically to help unsheltered young people.
