According to Covenant House Alaska, youth experiencing homelessness is a growing problem both in Anchorage and across the U.S. According to statistics, youth between ages 18 and 24 are among the growing homeless population nationwide.
In 2016, Ryna Lealai found herself within that age bracket facing homelessness. At 18, she was kicked out of her family home in the middle of the night during winter.
Lealai is just one of the thousands of youth that Covenant House has taken in. In the last fiscal year, the organization took in 898 youth, many experiencing a similar upbringing to Lealai.
