Abstract
The study compares experiences of discrimination between homeless and non-homeless youth between the ages of 18 to 24. Findings suggest that homeless youth experience significantly more discrimination than their housed counterparts. These results underscore to examine stigmatization as an additional stressor among the homeless population.
