Who we are

We are the Youth Homelessness Collective, a movement of over 150 organisations united to end youth homelessness. After years of campaigning, we secured a major breakthrough in December 2025, when the government committed to recognising and tackling young people’s unique challenges in its National Plan to End Homelessness.

Together, we have built momentum, mobilised public support, and pushed youth homelessness firmly onto the political agenda.

But this is only the beginning. Young people still face systemic barriers that put them at risk of homelessness, and we will keep campaigning until real, lasting change is delivered.

We are determined to turn commitments into action and ensure every young person has a safe place to call home.

How we work together

We bring together ideas, resources, and shared priorities to build a strong, unified voice that influences decision-makers and drives systemic change to end youth homelessness. At the core, we centre young people with lived experience, ensuring their voices shape campaigning, policy, and public engagement.
