This month, Jobcentre Goole talks to us about youth homelessness and how Safe and Sound Homes (SASH) exists to help 16-25-year-olds affected by homelessness across North and East Yorkshire

SAFE AND SOUND HOMES - SASH

Youth homelessness in the UK is a very real problem

Almost 122,000 young people faced homelessness last year and not just in big cities, but across counties and in rural areas.

Safe and Sound Homes (SASH) exists to help 16-25-year-olds affected by homelessness across North and East Yorkshire. The charity offers vulnerable young people a safe and secure place to stay, keeping them safe at a time of crisis.

Some 46% of the young people we help come to us because of family breakdown. Other reasons include abuse, relationship or fostering breakdown, eviction, young people leaving care with nowhere to go or seeking asylum. SASH ensures that such vulnerable people have a safe place to stay – and so much more.

WHAT WE DO

The charity operates an emergency accommodation service, Nightstop, a longerterm Supported Lodgings scheme and, in the East Riding, a Resettlement service. Our solution to youth homelessness is a simple one, founded on the willingness of local people to support those struggling in their own communities.

For some young people, a short stay in Nightstop is all that is needed to facilitate a return home or find somewhere permanent to live. For others, we enable a transition into independent adulthood by providing a safe place to call home in our Supported Lodgings scheme. Whilst putting a roof over someone’s head is essential at a time of crisis, it does not resolve the issues that lie at the root of homelessness. To address these, we work with our hosts and partner organisations to provide the individual support that each young person needs. This includes emotional support; helping young people to continue in or return to education; help to enter the workplace for the first time; and learning practical skills such as budgeting and cooking. We support young people to change their lives and build a positive future. Our ambition is that those we help never face homelessness again and go on to live and thrive independently.
