Youth Action Board

The Homeless Alliance Youth Action Board, named Backbone, advises the board of directors on policies and practices that affect youth experiencing homelessness or youth at risk of experiencing homelessness. Backbone organizes youth-focused projects and initiatives and works with other relevant committees and subcommittees to influence Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program planning and project implementation.

Backbone members have lived experience with various forms of homelessness and housing instability, including residing in emergency shelters, couch surfing, transitional living, runaway, and human trafficking.
