Wednesday 16 April 2025 is Youth Homelessness Matters Day

Over 38,000 young people aged 15–24 years presented alone to a homelessness service in 2022–23. Of these young people, almost half experienced mental ill-health and over one third experienced domestic and family violence. The majority of these young people were in need of short- or long-term accommodation and most were turned away due to a lack of capacity.

This Youth Homelessness Matters Day (YHMD) we are raising awareness about youth homelessness, ensuring the issues and realities of young people experiencing and at risk of homelessness remain high on the public agenda.
