Housing and Homelessness

How Homelessness Affects Young People

We work with a variety of young people that are homeless and at risk of becoming homeless. This can include those that are sofa surfing, young people living in a dangerous or abusive environment and those staying in temporary accommodation such as a hostel or night-shelter.

YES is here for all young people aged 11-25 that may be facing the threat of homelessness in the Colchester area. We provide crucial advice and housing support, as well as food vouchers and signposting information.
