The California Research Bureau (CRB) has been conducting a research and policy education project on homeless youth for almost 2 years now. The project, funded by The California Wellness Foundation, has brought together a diverse group of researchers, program directors, local and state agency program managers, local and state policymakers, and homeless and formerly homeless youth to identify and discuss the many challenges facing homeless young people. The CRB project team consists of Ginny Puddefoot (Project Director) and Lisa Foster (Senior Researcher for the project), under the direction of Charlene Simmons (Assistant Director). CRB once again partnered with independent journalist Nell Bernstein and the California Council on Youth Relations (CCYR), which greatly expanded the project team's capacity to reach community-based providers and homeless and formerly homeless youth.

AHO youth were contracted by the CRB to conduct this research in Marin County.
