OverviewPresenting empirical research on the subject of young people, housing and social policy in late-20th century Britain, this volume considers the issue of young people's early housing histories in the context of a range of government policy initiatives aimed at the group. It offers a critique of aspects of social policy that specifically address the housing of young people. Topics covered include: young people leaving care; young people in the parental home; youth homelessness; housing services for young people; students in the private rented sector; young owner occupiers; housing benefit for the under 25s; young single parent families; young people and housing in rural areas; and social housing.
