The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has unveiled the National Plan to End Homelessness, the long-awaited cross-government strategy on homelessness and rough sleeping.

Moving into your own place can be a scary prospect, particularly if you have had experience with homelessness. But what if there is no place to move into, and you are stuck for months or years in a homelessness hostel, when you just want to move on? This is the increasing reality for many young homeless people, resulting from a lack of social and private housing supply, soaring rents and benefit cuts.

Former residents with lived experience of homelessness talk about what it's really like to sleep rough, the reasons behind it and the solutions.

We sent some of our snowmen to protest outside the Houses of Parliament to highlight the shocking number of young people at risk of homelessness this winter.
