Youth Homelessness Prevention Workshop

Wealden District Council, Eastbourne Borough Council and the YMCA have produced a DVD which includes information about youth homelessness and interviews with young people who have experienced real homeless situations, some of whom were living in temporary accommodation when interviewed. The DVD shows that homelessness amongst young people is really a last resort and not an option.
