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

20. Young People and Housing a future crisis?
Naomi Eisenstadt

21. 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

22. 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 yr olds slept rough in 2014
300,000 any one night
Most common cause: left parental home under pressure

26. 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

27. 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

28. 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
