Youth Homelessness
Youth homelessness includes anyone aged between 16 and 25 who can’t live in a permanent home with their parents or guardians or in suitable care and can’t acquire their own home, and while it’s important to help all people experiencing homelessness, young people are particularly vulnerable.
Migrant Homelessness
Thousands of refugees in the UK face homelessness. People who have been forced from their homes to seek refuge in the UK face an onslaught of legal, social and linguistic barriers.
Women's Homelessness
Women are trapped in dangerous situations. They are often trapped in unsafe, abusive or exploitative housing, living with violent partners, coercive family members, or in situations where their safety is at constant risk.
Mental Health and Homelessness
The relationship between mental health and homelessness is deeply interconnected, with each often exacerbating the other. Mental health issues can not only lead to homelessness but also be worsened by structural factors like lack of support, poverty, and housing instability.
