This qualitative study investigates the compounded impacts of COVID-19 on marginalized youth experiencing homelessness or precarious housing in the Greater Toronto Area. Research with 17 youth and 20 service providers explored how interlocking oppressions based on race, Indigeneity, 2SLGBTQ+ identity, and mental health intersected with housing, policing, and violence. Findings reveal increased hardships, including over-policing, decreased mental wellness, and exclusion from services. The analysis highlights the nonlinear, entangled nature of mental health, addiction, homelessness, and identity-based exclusion. This evidence advocates for structural policy responses that address these multifaceted, systemic inequities to better support youth.

This qualitative study investigates the compounded impacts of COVID-19 on marginalized youth experiencing homelessness or precarious housing in the Greater Toronto Area.

Findings reveal increased hardships, including over-policing, decreased mental wellness, and exclusion from services. The analysis highlights the nonlinear, entangled nature of mental health, addiction, homelessness, and identity-based exclusion.
