1. Housing costs, high cost of living, and lack of living wage job opportunities (and lack of opportunities to build needed skills/knowledge needed to get living wage jobs)
2. Mental health issues and substance use in youth are not identified or addressed
3. Not enough affordable or free afterschool, weekend, and summer activities
4. Not enough affordable, local childcare (including on weekends, in evenings, and during the summer) or preschool
5. Lack of supportive adults (often because parents/caregivers are working multiple jobs and there are not enough opportunities for youth to connect with other supportive adults)
