Abstract
This article describes a novel framework for the provision of individual psychotherapy for youth with histories of homelessness. We discuss the value of a one-at-a-time therapy approach in stepped care contexts through the Housing Outreach Project—Collaborative (HOPC), a comprehensive program for young people transitioning out of homelessness in Toronto, Canada.
