Youngstown / Mahoning County CoC
Mahoning County operates one of the smaller youth-serving systems in the YHSI cohort. The community's HMIS data significantly underrepresents actual need — no dedicated youth facilities or services for unaccompanied youth under 18 are currently captured in the system, and youth exiting child welfare or juvenile justice cannot be reliably tracked at this time. What data does exist, from the Stella P parenting youth cohort, shows a small but high-performing slice of the system: 77% of parenting youth households exited to permanent destinations with zero system returns. The most urgent planning need is building out the infrastructure that doesn't yet exist — youth-dedicated access points, a prevention program, and transitional housing — before the data can tell a fuller story.
