    Although the number of children with an incarcerated parent has increased nearly 80% in the past 20 years, few resources exist to support young children and families with this life-changing circumstance. In response, Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street, has unveiled its newest, bilingual (English/Spanish) initiative, Little Children, Big Challenges: Incarceration, for families with young children (ages 3-8) who have an incarcerated parent and continue to develop skills for resilience.

    The Corporation for Supportive Housing has developed a "Transition Age Youth Triage Tool" that targets homeless transition age youth for permanent supportive housing. Six "life experiences" were found to be associated with a significantly greater risk of experiencing five or more years of homelessness. The report recommends that youth who endorse four or more experiences on the tool should be prioritized for supportive housing, to ultimately stop the next wave of chronic homelessness.
