Abstract
This toolkit provides a step-by-step roadmap for public and private youth-serving organizations on how to use the Voices of Youth Count (VoYC) methodology to conduct a more inclusive and accurate count of homeless youth. Its intended audience is the individuals and organizations who will plan and execute the youth count in their community. The toolkit has five phases with guidance and links to templates and tools within each phase. The guidance sections provide an overview of each phase and details about how the national VoYC was implemented, including lessons learned. The associated tools contain more detailed explanations on how to complete each step in the youth count process. The appendix includes a complete list of the tools and templates embedded throughout the toolkit. For those new to youth counting, the authors recommend reading the toolkit guidance in full before starting the planning process.
