Description

North Yorkshire Council (NYC) developed a Young People's Pathway model (YPP), called 'Young People's Housing Solutions @ The Hub' in 2011. YPP provides a multi-agency service across the County to young people aged 16-25 years who may be homeless or at risk of homelessness. It is an operational and strategic partnership between Children and Families Services and Housing. The YPP was developed in response to the requirements arising from the 2009 "Southwark Judgement" and the subsequent Department for Children, Schools and Families guidance to Children's' Services and Local Housing Authorities (April 2010) which sets out local authorities' duties to secure accommodation and support for homeless 16 and 17 year olds. It assists the Authority in meeting their statutory obligations to young people who are in or leaving care and meets the prevention and main housing duty of the Authority. This ensures they are protected and enabled to lead independent and fulfilling lives through the provision of quality services. The partnership approach provides a clear and consistent pathway, regardless of where in the County the young person requests assistance, maximising the effective use of resources, staff skills and expertise to prevent homelessness, the associated negative consequences and provide accommodation options.
