Herts Young Homeless

My wife Sarah and I stubbled across Herts Yound Homeless. They help young people secure and maintain appropriate accommodation by providing information, support and help in a crisis. hyh works with other agencies throughout Hertfordshire towards improving local provision and preventing youth homelessness. They state that every year they help 2500 young people get their lives back on track. Sarah recommended it to the Harpenden Ladies Circle, who accepted it as one of their nominated charities. I have not met them yet but I look forward to doing so and understanding what we can also learn from their approach and experience. They are several parallels. In their literature they write "Every day young people are homeless in our community and our mission is to support them in a secure situtaion and ensure that they do not return to the desperation of sn uncertain future". The Herts Yound Homeless website can be found here They offer: Advice & Information Mediation Floating Support Crashpad Herts Health Action for the Homeless Home Truths education
