We started For Change Co. back in 2014 because we were a group of young people who saw, and could not unsee, the injustices of society on other young people our age who were experiencing homelessness. To many of us, it’s something that we take for granted – being housed. We simply trust that a home will be there for us whenever we need it, and rarely think twice about it. Imagine, not being able to trust in this thought. Imagine having to worry everyday about where you are going to sleep that night, what you are going to eat, who is going to support you when you need it. And imagine having to worry about all of this when you are a young person.
