在北美，衡量解决无家可归问题的社区战略是否成功的关键绩效指标是无家可归者是否有住房。在这篇文章中，我们认为，对于无家可归的年轻人，我们需要推进更广泛的考虑结果，包括一系列旨在了解发展中的青少年和年轻人的需求，并有助于住房稳定的福祉指标。我们明确指出，青年人在生活各领域取得的积极成果，包括住房稳定以及安全和保障、健康和福祉、与同龄人、家庭和有意义的成年人的社会联系、与群体/邻里/社区的联系、兴趣和娱乐休闲以及学校和职业/工作愿望和目标，必须成为这些努力的核心。"转变“项目旨在测试这一成果框架，以加强服务和衡量能力，并最终改善青年的成果。
In North America, the key performance indicator of success in community strategies to address homelessness is whether a homeless person is housed or not. In this article, we argue that for young people experiencing homelessness, we need to advance a broader consideration of outcomes to include a range of well-being indicators designed to understand the needs of developing adolescents and young adults and contribute to housing stability. We articulate that the positive outcomes of young people across life domains that include housing stability as well as their safety and security, health and well-being, social connections to peers, family and meaningful adults, connections to groups/neighbourhoods/communities, interests and recreation and leisure, and school and career/work aspirations and goals must be at the centre of these efforts. The Making the Shift project is designed to test this outcomes framework in order to enhance service and measurement capacity and ultimately improve outcomes for youth.
