Integrating Harm Reduction Strategies into Services and Supports for Young Adults Experiencing Homelessness
Description
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is committed to promoting the economic and social well-being of children, youth, families, individuals, and communities. As part of our work, we support the HHS Overdose Prevention Strategy
(OPS) to ensure individuals with a substance use disorder (SUD) are supported and connected to substance use treatment, human services, and other necessary resources. Harm reduction
, an evidence-based approach critical to engaging with people who use drugs and equipping them with life-saving tools and information, is one of the four priority areas in the agency’s overdose prevention strategy. This brief provides information and resources about harm reduction services for young adults experiencing homelessness.
