Vulnerable young people are being forced into homelessness due to unsafe, unstable and unaffordable housing. Supported accommodation helps to break the cycle and provide young people with the safety and stability they need to move on with their lives – but it can only do so much. When young people are ready to leave homelessness behind and live independently, they face even more obstacles – like the housing crisis, and age discrimination in the Universal Credit system. But it doesn’t have to be this way.  In this episode of Point Made, current and former service users Ikra, Louise and Toni-Ann share their experiences of housing and talk about the changes they’d like to see.They’re also joined by Dr Tom Kerridge, our Policy and Research Manager, as he shares some of the findings of our new research report, Somewhere to Call Home: Improving young people's access to affordable, safe and secure housing.
