It is fair to say that the housing options of young people in Wales are limited. Young people are generally disadvantaged over other groups due to the financial/poverty gap set by legislation and that, as a group, they include a significant amount of single households.
This training course will look at the causes and consequences of homelessness for this group and their housing options from accessing emergency accommodation to securing a tenancy.
Course includes:
- Relevant homelessness legislation, statutory duties, and the Code of Guidance and the duties owed towards young people
- Problem-solving with landlords and tenancies
- Benefit entitlement and restrictions
- Case studies based on our experience of working with young people across Wales
Suitable for:
This course is suitable for anyone who works with or advises young people and needs a clear understanding of young people’s housing rights and options.
