Cost of living and rent 'recipe for disaster for young people', say charity Shelter
By Sam Gruet & Riyah CollinsYoung people face a "surge in homelessness" amid the cost-of-living crisis, a leading charity has warned.So far this year, according to its latest figures, 40% of those have come from 16 to 34-year-olds.
Olivia Dunphy, 25, and colleague Jenny Lamb, 31, are among the people who pick calls from people looking for support.They say they've noticed more people calling for help after exhausting existing options."There is always something you could do for someone, and even just listening to someone is helpful to them.""There are cases that hit closer to home, especially for me, like I'm bisexual.
Jenny says the rising cost of living has "intensified" the usual obstacles young people face, including accommodation, pay and job stability.
