30 mins to contacthigh Priority

Young people aged 16–25 can find it hard to secure stable housing alone. Some charities focus specially on helping young people.

What to do: Visit websites like Centrepoint and Depaul to see what help they offer in your area. Contact them by phone, email or online form to ask about housing advice, supported housing or other services for young people.

What do you need: You need your age, current living situation and a short description of the problems you are facing.

Outcomes: You may get advice, a support worker or a place in supported accommodation designed for young people.

Lifehack: If one charity cannot help, ask them who else in your area supports young people with housing.
