Youth homelessness has become an emerging area of interest as efforts to target eradicating homelessness have focused efforts of policy makers and social workers. A lack of uniformity in definition and mechanisms for measurement has limited research into this group as a separate population. The long-term impact of experiencing homelessness prior to adulthood has not previously been explored. Utilizing an exploratory qualitative, dialogic process this study explored themes that would suggest resilience factors or validate known risk factors for housing instability in adults who experienced homelessness prior to age 18. The lived experience of 20 adults who formerly experienced homelessness prior to age 18, ten of whom never reexperienced housing instability in adulthood was captured and analyzed through thematic analysis. Through the lenses of Attachment Theory and Ecological Systems Theory this study examines the lived experiences of those who re-experienced homelessness in adulthood as compared against those who did not. The foundational knowledge base that informed this study derived from the cross-section of existing research into risk factors for homelessness, homelessness in the LGBTQ+ youth population, and outcomes for youth who age out of the foster care system. The most significant themes that emerged included early trauma, multiple losses of significant caregiver relationships, strained family relationships at the transition to adulthood, particularly for those in the LGBTQ+ community, substance abuse within the family, disparities in educational achievement, emergency of a severe and persistent mental illness during the transition to adulthood, the role of premature parenthood, perceptions of safety, and the ability to ask for help. Based on these findings and within the context provided by the participants' narrative of their lived experiences, the following themes were found to be risk factors for housing instability and poor outcomes in adulthood: developmental trauma, emergence of severe mental illness, lack of supportive relationships, and substance abuse. The following themes emerged as resilience factors in the subsample that maintained housing stability through their adulthood: ability to ask for help, the presence of at least one supportive relationship, employment at 18, and having a child to care for. These findings suggest that further exploration of resilience and risk factors within this population will inform social work practice at the micro, meso, and macro levels.
