Youth on their Own

Age 24 and younger on their own

Body

Young people on their own are some of the least visible and most vulnerable people experiencing homelessness.  

From night to night, youth may need to find a new place to stay (known as couch hopping), go to shelters, or sleep in their cars or on public transportation. The number of unaccompanied youth age 24 and younger is likely considerably higher than we report.

1,315 youth on their own age 24 and younger were experiencing homelessness in Minnesota on a single night in 2023.
