A coalition approach to ending youth homelessness in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Registered charity no: 1212449 https://linktr.ee/endyouthhomelessnesscymru

The EYHC Coalition was established in 2017 on the back of a campaign that prohibited the use of unsupported Temporary Accommodation (TA) for 16-17 year-olds experiencing homelessness. Almost 8 years later, we wanted to establish a picture of the realities of TA for young people today.

Text reads: We submitted Freedom of Information Act Requests to all 22 Welsh Local Authorities, inquiring about the number of 16-17 and 18-25 year-olds, along with their average time spent in temporary accommodation (TA). 9 LAs gave a full response. 8 gave a partial response. 4 do not hold the data. 1 did not reply. Here's what we found...
