Experiences of Youth Homelessness
This research was commissioned by the Housing Executive and undertaken by lead consultant, Fiona Boyle with support from the Housing Executive via the Research Unit and the Homelessness Strategy & Policy Unit. In addition, specialist knowledge and expertise on homelessness policy and literature relating to youth homelessness in the rest of the United Kingdom has been provided by Professor Nicholas Pleace, Housing Centre, The University of York.
The purpose of this research was to provide an improved understanding of the issues that lead to young people becoming homeless, the support available to them and areas that need to be improved.
In particular the research was focussed on assisting the Housing Executive in seeking to prevent homelessness amongst young people and to identify opportunities and/or links across government agencies, where improvements could be made to assist in the prevention of homelessness.
