Why CTS is needed now more than ever
The challenges facing young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness were compounded by the COVID pandemic and are now being made worse by the cost-of-living crisis. Our clients tell us they need us now more than ever. Current data is showing that the number of young people coming through our doors is likely to increase significantly over the coming year.
Brighton & Hove has the second highest levels of homelessness outside of London at 3,700 (Shelter-2021). And post-Covid, we are also seeing higher numbers of people with multiple, complex needs.
The difference we make
Most importantly for me, CTS is a safe space where you can go, where you can get some food, get some help with housing, or if you need to clean up you can have a shower. It's a community for people in similar situations. I've never experienced that before in my life. Harry, 22 (he/him)
