Research reports

This research report explores the growing number of young people sleeping rough during the pandemic and evaluates the support that is available to them.

For the past five decades Centrepoint has supported homeless young people to turn their lives around. In 2019, no young person should find themselves homeless yet we are supporting more young people than ever through our accommodation services and national Helpline.

This research is the first longitudinal evaluation of the Youth Obligation to be published. It reflects the experiences of disadvantaged young people; those with the most complex needs who are furthest from the job market. The Youth Obligation is not working effectively for this group.

We explored which elements of Moneywise work well/least well with young people through a process evaluation focusing on engagement, experience and effectiveness.

Unemployment is particularly common among disadvantaged groups, including those who have experienced or are at risk of homelessness.
