We are an independent registered charity, established in 1998, that helps young people secure and maintain appropriate accommodation by providing information, support and help in a crisis. Herts Young Homeless works with other agencies throughout Hertfordshire towards improving local services and preventing homelessness. We believe that safe and secure accommodation is the essential foundation from which young people can achieve a successful independent life. Our free mainstream services are Advice & Information and Floating Support, and we have a number of other free services which support and complement this work in areas such as Health, Mediation and Education. We are constantly exploring new ideas in an effort to achieve our goal of preventing homelessness.
