Youth homelessness in Hillsborough County is a growing issue, with area leaders citing a rising cost of living, limited wage growth, and a lack of affordable housing. According to the Florida Department of Education, in Hillsborough, more than 4,500 students found themselves unhoused in the last few years (2021-2022). That's up from roughly 4,000 in the previous years (2020-2021). One local organization that works to combat youth homelessness is the Tampa Hillsborough Homeless Initiative, specifically its Youth Action Board. The Youth Action Board is led by two young women who know the struggles of youth homelessness first-hand. ►Subscribe: https://on.wtsp.com/youtube ►Website: https://www.wtsp.com/ ►Facebook: https://facebook.com/10TampaBay ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/10TampaBay
