Last year, almost 136,000 young people approached their council for support because they were experiencing or at risk of homelessness - the highest figure on record.

This is unacceptable.

Building affordable housing is positive – but we must focus on what is being built too.

This crisis of skyrocketing rents and increased rough sleeping is a huge concern, so it’s important that political parties across the spectrum respond. bit.ly/4d5o1PV

We know that ending rough sleeping in London is possible - and everyone should share that ambition too.

Councils have a legal duty to assess anyone who presents as homeless, but more than 40,000 young people were left without support in 2022-23.

Our new research shows that local authorities have a £332 million shortfall in youth homelessness funding. The government must do more.
