What is YOUTH REACH?
This is a count of individuals aged 24 or younger who are not in the physical custody or care of a parent or legal guardian and lack a safe and stable nighttime residence. Youth take a brief, confidential survey and the information goes to help identify resources needed for youth who need a safe, reliable place to sleep at night. The count takes place over two weeks and is happening not only in Baltimore City but throughout the state of Maryland.
