Understanding youth homelessness

Centrepoint’s Youth Homelessness Databank shows 1 in 52 young people are homeless or at risk of homelessness in the UK, with the East of England having the highest rates, up 14% since 2020.

Join us for a session hosted by the CIH Eastern regional group, as they look at the national picture of youth homelessness and how organisations in the East of England are supporting 16–25-year-olds presenting as homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Tom Kerridge, Policy and research manager at Centrepoint will be introducing the latest data from their Databank, alongside Caroline Barkham, Director of housing at Impakt; an organisation working in the East of England that manages accommodation for 16–25-year-olds.

Rachael Williamson, Interim director of policy, communications and external affairs at the Chartered Institute of Housing will update on the Government’s cross-departmental homelessness strategy and long-term plan for housing.
