Our blog is a safe space where we discuss the things that really matter to us: young people, housing, government policy, our campaigns and our research.
It's where we ask the difficult questions, demystify the jargon, discuss the topics that affect young people most and give you a glimpse of our day-to-day as a youth homelessness charity.

Billy Harding, Policy and Research Officer, talks about the importance of youth work in tackling issues like youth homelessness, gang crime and violence.
The government’s flagship youth unemployment programme, the Youth Obligation, aims to provide unemployed 18- to 21-year-olds with intensive support to find a job. There’s also the promise of a traineeship or work placement if they’re still not in work after six months. Abigail Gill, Centrepoint’s Policy and Research Manager, gave evidence to the Work and Pensions Select Committee about how the Youth Obligation programme is working in practice.
Billy Harding, Centrepoint’s Policy and Research Officer, explains the most recent changes to the Government’s new welfare system – and spells out what we think still needs to be done.
With 103,000 homeless young people approaching their local council because they were homeless or at risk in 2017/18, there’s still a lot more to do in the fight to end youth homelessness.
