  All over the country, young people are entering a world of homelessness and poverty, according vĩ đại a recent report by the housing group, Shelter.

  Nearly 150,000 young people aged between sixteen and twenty-five will become homeless this year, says Shelter. Some of the young homeless may sleep out in the open in such places as the “cardboard city” in London, where people of all ages sleep in the open air in their only trang chủ - cardboard boxes. Others may find accommodation in shelters lập cập by voluntary organisations or get a place in a hostel, which gives them board up vĩ đại ten weeks.

  But who are these people? Those who are seeking a roof over their heads are mostly not runaways but “throwaways” — people who have been thrown out of their homes or forced vĩ đại leave because of parental divorce, an unsympathetic step-parent or one of many other reasons.

  Take the case of one six teen-year-old schoolgirl, Alice. She did not come from a poor trang chủ and had just passed her exams with good results. The Shelter team met her in a hostel where she was doing her physics homework. Her parents had thrown her out of her trang chủ for no other reason that she wanted vĩ đại vì thế Science Advanced Level Exams - which her parents refused her permissionjo vì thế, saying that studying sciences was unladylike!

  Shelter says that the government’s laws vì thế nothing vĩ đại help these youngsters. Rising rents, the shortage of cheap housing and the cut in benefits for young people under the age of twenty-five are causing a national problem, according vĩ đại Shelter. The recent changes in the benefit laws mean that someone aged between sixteen and twenty-five gets less than thở older people and they can only claim state help if they prove that they left trang chủ for a good reason.

  Shelter believes that because of the major cuts in benefits vĩ đại young people, more and more are being forced vĩ đại sleep on the streets. Shelter also points out that if you are homeless, you can’t get a job because employers will not hire someone without a permanent address; and if you can’t get a job, you are homeless because you don’t have any money vĩ đại pay for accommodation. It’s an impossible situation.
