Abstract	Youth homelessness is a distressing trend in the United States (U.S.). In 2013, more than one million homeless students were enrolled in the U.S. public school system. The District of Columbia, the nation's capital, is also experiencing a surge in the number of homeless youth. In April 2015, one in every twenty-four students attending the District of Columbia public school system was homeless. Within the context of the District of Columbia's exceptional socio-historical dynamics, this study explores the nature and conditions of Black homeless youth. The study relies on the existing homeless youth literature, and a recent study that involved 95 unaccompanied Black homeless youth (16-21 years) residing in the District of Columbia. (As Provided).
