Crisis at 50: reflections and looking ahead Jon Sparkes @jon_sparkes Chief Executive Crisis

What would ending homelessness look like? Matt Downie, @matthew_downie Director of External Affairs, Crisis

Why a definition matters Shared ambition Data Efficiency Challenge Political ownership

What to consider in a proposed definition The reality for homelessness people Existing systems and context Political audience Framing

Functional Zero vs. Absolute Zero

Our proposed definition No one sleeping rough No one living in shelters, hostels or other emergency accommodation without a plan to move into suitable housing within an appropriate timescale No one living in dangerous or insecure accommodation or situations No one homeless as a result of leaving the care system, prison, or other state institution Everyone at immediate risk of homelessness gets the help that prevents it happening

Young People and Housing a future crisis? Naomi Eisenstadt

Young People in Scotland: Poverty rate higher than a decade ago (23% to 25%), over 65s, poverty rate significantly declined (20% - 12%) Pensioners only group where poverty rate declines after housing costs Great increase in young people in the PRS and staying in parental home longer Key barriers: high rents prevent saving for a deposit, higher deposit requirements, rising costs of property, stagnant or even declining wages

How many young people* 17% slept rough or in an unsafe place in the last year because of no where else to go 20% had sofa surfed 16% for more than a week 4% for over three months Estimates for the UK 1.3 million of 16-24 yr olds slept rough in 2014 300,000 any one night Most common cause: left parental home under pressure *Clarke et al July 2015, Univ of Cambridge

Employment and Young People University ‘natural’ way to leave home, In Scotland still dominated by better off young people Living Wage not until 25 Young people overrepresented on 0 hour contracts, short term, and precarious employment Vicious cycle, low wages and high housing costs prevents accumulation of capital characterized by baby boomer generation

Some ideas More suitable social housing: 1 bed flats More creative rent to buy, prefab, and diversity of housing stock Schemes to help with deposit Better employment for young people, living wage at 18 Inclusive growth strategies with specific strands on outcomes for school leavers

A home and a job: too much to ask Relationship between insecure housing and: Child outcomes Poor mental health Poor employment prospects Will we preside over the first generation than is poorer than the previous one? Every level of government and all of civil society has a role to play
