Editor’s note: As the year comes to a close, NNS staff reflect on some of the stories we published that resonated with them.
I picked this article because it highlights an issue, youth houselessness, that has been exacerbated this year but has not been highlighted the same way that COVID-19, elections, or protests against police violence have.
PrincessSafiya Byers wrote this in January, but it remains just as relevant now.
