The Independent Living Programme provides young people with a home to call their own. It is our solution to breaking the cycle of young homelessness for good. 

Over the next 10 years, we will transform the lives of thousands of young people who need a helping hand to take the important but challenging first step to full independence, by providing them with a home.

We are building homes specifically for young people who are ready to live independently. It’s an ambitious goal and requires over £30m investment.
