Accommodation For Young People

EDM number 360 in 1997-98, proposed by Christine Russell on 28/10/1997.

That this House believes that young people are eager to take up the opportunity of high quality training and employment; is concerned that the Government ensures that the special needs of homeless and badly housed young people are addressed as part of the welfare to work programme; believes that young people need stable accommodation, appropriate support and basic skills to enable them to undertake meaningful training and employment; further believes that the Gateway process must take into account the need for accommodation and support for homeless young people and is best provided by a partnership between existing statutory and voluntary agencies who have the knowledge, experience and flexibility to assist young people in their move to independence; seeks to ensure that young people facing difficulties and in need of support are not penalised further by loss of benefit which may lead to homelessness; and calls on the Government to ensure that the welfare to work programme is based on a thorough and comprehensive assessment of all an individual's needs.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
