Being Young and Homeless

"Being Young and Homeless is an intimate portrayal of life on the street from the perspective of young people in Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, and Guatemala City. Jeff Karabanow portrays street youth experiences in various locales, highlighting reasons for entering street life, struggles to survive on the street, encounters with service providers, and for some, the street exiting process. This book is relevant for students and practitioners of social work, sociology, social administration, and public policy."--BOOK JACKET.
