Have you signed the petition for a standalone National Child and Youth Homelessness and Housing Plan yet? Today is Youth Homelessness Matters Day; a day to raise awareness for youth homelessness and discuss innovative solutions to support the needs of young people experiencing homelessness. In 2023, 17,248 children and young people presenting alone needed a crisis bed, but only 1 in 2 were taken in.  This Youth Homelessness Matters Day, we're campaigning with Yfoundations (as well as The Foyer Foundation, Social Futures and Youth Off The Streets) for the implementation of a standalone National Child and Youth Homelessness and Housing Plan. Children and young people require support models which differ from practices targeted towards adults. For homelessness to be rare, brief and non-recurring, the right care must be in place to ensure that young people are not placed in dangerous situations. Join us in signing the petition, because together we can end youth homelessness.  https://lnkd.in/eXkyzz_E #YHMD2024
