Abstract
The United States is experiencing a significant housing crisis that disproportionately affects young migrants. This article examines the multifaceted challenges contributing to housing instability among this vulnerable population, including economic barriers, legal obstacles, and systemic inequities. It also explores the broader national implications of this crisis, such as its impact on social services, community integration, and economic development. Furthermore, the article reviews strategic solutions implemented across various states and municipalities, highlighting best practices and policy recommendations aimed at alleviating housing insecurity among young migrants.By analyzing current data and case studies, this review seeks to inform policymakers, social service providers, and community advocates about effective strategies to address the housing needs of young migrants in the U.S.
The goal is to offer actionable insights that inform policy and practice, contributing to a more equitable and resilient socio-economic framework.
