About this Event
Centrepoint is proud to host the eighth National Youth Homelessness Conference, bringing together sector leaders, practitioners, policymakers, and young people with lived experience to explore the critical pathways that support young people in moving on from homelessness and into independence.
This year’s theme, “Routes Out of Homelessness,” will spotlight innovative models and bold ideas shaping the future of youth homelessness support.
Topics include:
- Independent Living Programmes and stepping-stone accommodation
- Housing First models tailored for young people including international insights from Belgium’s Housing First Europe
- Rent deposit schemes to unlock access to the private rented sector
- Employment initiatives that support young people into sustainable work
- Powerful insights from Lived Experience Experts
Whether you're a frontline worker, policymaker, or someone passionate about ending youth homelessness, this is your opportunity to connect, learn, and lead change.
Delegates will be sent further information to their preferred workshops a few weeks ahead of the event.
