Housing Changes 2013...facts, not myths
Housing is changing...and young people find it confusing. Here, the Centrepoint Parliament has put together information to help other young people understand housing benefits and housing options.
This was initially supposed to be a leaflet for Centrepoint young people, but we feel that it's important information for all young people - so please feel free to share it.

project also sought to understand if and how these relationships can be rebuilt.
The changing face of youth homelessness: trends in homeless young people's support needs
