Homelessness advice for young people aged 16-25
If you are aged 16-25 and are homeless, you should immediately contact the Herts Young Homeless Group (HYHG).
If you are a young person living at home and are experiencing problems, please take a moment to answer the following questions before you leave home:
- Where will you stay?
- What will it cost?
- Have you got enough money?
- What will you need to take with you?
- Who can you talk to?
If you do decide to leave home or are forced to leave by a family member, the first port of call should be the Herts Young Homeless Group (HYHG) who specialise in helping young people with issues surrounding their homelessness.
