At least 2,290 people aged between 16-24 approached their
local authority in 2018/19 because they had become homeless or were at risk of

32 percent - had a positive outcome, which includes finding accommodation or

lead to more young people becoming homeless, having already received calls from
people who had lost their homes due to the pandemic, as financial resources are
stretched and local authorities come under pressure. Read more on the Chad
