strategy to end youth homelessness

Plan for the 129k website banner

Youth homelessness is escalating in a way we’ve never seen before.All the charities involved in the strategy to end youth homelessness have noticed a worrying increase in homelessness in our communities, with under-25's making up a big part of this group. We know that 129,000 young people in the UK approached their council as homeless last year and that only about half of those homeless will approach their council, so the true extent is certainly much bigger. But we don’t need despair or pity, we know how to solve youth homelessness and have the data to support it.

This is why Llamau has joined over 100 other youth and homelessness charities to draw attention to these often forgotten young people. The nation’s next generation cannot be abandoned to the harm of homelessness. We’ve created a policy briefing about how we would sustainably end youth homelessness. #PlanForThe129k
