These case studies look at the impact of targeted youth support (TYS) and TYS-related processes on youth homelessness.

They outline the challenges faced, the actions taken and the resulting impact, and offers some implementation tips for others working with young people at risk of becoming homeless.

Their purpose is to give you a taste of the types of practice as they emerge; the opportunity to find out more about issues relevant to you and your authority, and to illustrate how TYS helps vulnerable young people, through early identification, intervention and preventative work, to deal with their problems before they escalate.

To help you decide if these case studies are appropriate to your needs, we have provided further details of the contents here:

  • Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Suffolk and North Yorkshire - youth homelessness project Safe Moves

  • Hull City Council - housing at the heart of multi-agency working

 

Further case studies will be added as they become available.
