Beyond Youth Homelessness Podcast
Beyond Youth Homelessness: Conversations that matter is a Podcast hosted and produced by grassroots organisation, Project Youth. Project Youth is working towards a future where youth homelessness doesn't exist. This podcast is hosted by one of our Practice Leads, Matt, who sits down with young people to hear their stories of lived experiences of homelessness and disadvantage. We believe that telling stories is one of the most powerful ways we can communicate, share history and culture, create influence, drive change, advocate, teach, inspire, evoke emotion, provide context and connect people. Storytelling forges connections among people, and between people and ideas. Thank you for taking the time to listen to these stories, allowing them to shape and challenge your views, and joining us on our journey to end youth homelessness.

Beyond Youth Homelessness - Harry
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Beyond Homelessness: Conversations That Matter, Matt sits down with Harry to explore identity, belonging and the realities of safety when experiencing homelessness.
Harry shares how searching for connection and role models shaped his sense of self — sometimes helping, sometimes hindering. Harry shares his story in a way that challenges the stigma surrounding crime, unpacking how survival choices can look very different when your options are limited and safety exists on a spectrum.
This conversation explores what it means to choose between being safe and being housed, and the moment when you have to question the beliefs that once protected you in order to step into change. Harry also reflects on the power of community — and how finding genuine connection can shift the direction of a life. His story invites us to move beyond judgement and toward understanding.
Thank you for listening and for joining us as we continue working toward a future where youth homelessness does not exist.
