After a childhood of unstable housing, Parker shares his journey of securing his first permanent home and going to university.
Housing funds
Homeless services for young people are a lifeline but they are not a long-term solution. In order to invest in their futures, young people need to believe they can leave institutional care behind and stand on their own two feet.
Unfortunately the extremely limited supply of social housing means the young people we support often face overwhelming financial barriers to securing a home. For many, living independently feels like an impossible dream.
EveryYouth Homed helps young people to overcome practical and financial barriers and leave homelessness behind.
We provide young people with the financial support they need to overcome the prohibitive upfront costs of securing a tenancy and supply the basics that make a house a home.
