129,000 young people approached their councils as homeless last year. That’s 353 people a day, or one person every 4 minutes.
The true extent of youth homeless could be double that number, and with the cost-of-living crisis, it’s getting worse.
Young people often aren’t considered a priority or taken seriously by authorities and services, and face additional barriers to accessing secure rental accommodation. In short, they are failed by the systems that are supposed to help them.
Fat Macy’s has joined 100 other charities and frontline services to call for the government to commit to a strategy to tackle youth homelessness now.
