Allison List, Ph.D. with the NCJFCJ joined Marianna Daniele on KRXI Arc Reno to talk about a new toolkit that helps judges and community partners spot red flags early and connect young people to housing and services faster.
The effort builds on the NCJFCJ’s groundbreaking publication, “Toolkit for Identifying Youth Experiencing Homelessness in the Justice System: Using a Structured Process to Recognize Red Flags and Ensure Housing First Approaches.” Funded by the State Justice Institute (SJI), the toolkit is now being implemented at three pilot sites: Washoe County Division of Juvenile Services, The Children’s Cabinet, and Eddy House. The initiative is supported by key community partners: The Children’s Cabinet, Communities in Schools, Washoe County Human Services Agency, and Eddy House.
