Résumé
At the February workshop, participants toured local developments and learned from national experts about trauma-informed design and community-driven housing models. They then collaborated in design teams, integrating youth input to create supportive housing concepts tailored to different subgroups. Key themes included: prioritizing safety and mental health, incorporating green and communal spaces, enabling youth employment and social connection, and integrating developments into neighborhoods while addressing NIMBY concerns.
The workshop underscored the need for accessible, stable housing solutions co-designed with youth input. It also highlighted the financial complexities of building deeply affordable housing, especially when federal funding increases costs. The event concluded with a call to action for continued partnerships and implementation of trauma-informed, inclusive housing practices to support San Antonio's vulnerable youth.
