Research published today by Homeless Link shows:
·
52% of those seeking help with homelessness are
under 25.
·
Councils are preventing homelessness amongst
young people in just 19% of cases.
·
Half of those living in homelessness services
are under 25, at an average cost of at least £3,876 per case.
Young and Homeless
2014 shows that more than half of those who approached councils and charity
services for help in August 2014 were under 25. This suggests the scale of
youth homelessness is higher than reflected in official figures.
