This panel examines the transition — or lack thereof — that young adults experience as they age within supportive housing. Panelists will explore what outcomes look like for youth who remain in their original placements, how experiences differ between youth-specific programs and mixed-population settings, and whether existing contracts and program requirement provide any guidance on navigating this shift.
