Point Source Youth is a national nonprofit based in New York, United States, focused on preventing and ending youth homelessness. It works in the public policy space to advocate for, implement, support, and evaluate proven, scalable interventions that increase housing options for youth at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Its efforts are directed at youth facing homelessness and those at risk, partnering with other organizations to pilot cash-transfer programs and related supports as part of evidence-based strategies. The organization collaborates with groups such as the Ali Forney Center and UpTogether to study and implement direct cash transfers with optional supportive services. In May 2026, Point Source Youth expanded its presence by opening an office in Baltimore, Maryland, following Johns Hopkins research that a one-time direct cash payment can help prevent youth homelessness.
