Young homeless people across across Merseyside are being stuck in a 'vicious cycle' of that is keeping them from finding a permanent home, according to a Liverpool homelessness charity.
Local Solutions, a charity based in Wavertree, has supported homeless people in the area for close to fifty years by providing them with temporary accommodation. Now they have said that young homeless people are being caught in a 'revolving door of homelessness' due to a gap between their benefits and the cost of living which stops them from finding a permanent home.
Jenny Snell, head of development at Local Solutions, told the ECHO: "We're really concerned about what the future looks like for the young people who have finished their time in our temporary accommodation.
