The mental health of homeless young people is often neglected by services.

According to a report from the Mental Health Foundation, mental health problems are eight times as high for people living in hostels and bed&breakfast accommodation as people with permanent addresses.

The report says: "It is critical that young people's voices are heard, not just to map their routes into homelessness É but to help workers assess the availability of supportive provision."
