About This Trial
The goal of the SEED CHANGE pilot study is to co-design and test a wraparound intervention for young people transitioning away from homelessness. This study will provide information about the types of supports these young people need to live meaningful and thriving lives, and the best ways to deliver these supports. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the wraparound intervention feasible? (i.e., Will young people engage in the study and supports?) * Is the wraparound intervention acceptable? (i.e., Do young people find the supports satisfactory and/or beneficial?) Participants will engage in an 18-month wraparound intervention including the following supports: * Job Placement * Housing Stabilization Funds * Grocery Supplements * Community Connections Worker * Coaching * Tools for Intentional Living Program
