Emily Weiss talks at Mich-e-ke-wis Park pn May 25, 2021, in Alpena, Mich., about confronting homelessness as a young person. At age 16, Weiss left her home because of family issues and moved in with her sister, 24 years her senior. Like Weiss, now 19, hundreds of children and teens in Northeast Michigan live in other people s homes, shelters, or places not fit for human habitation. Scores of local housing advocates are poised to provide counseling, connections, and encouragement to help young people in Northeast Michigan get back into homes.
