This month has seen the first of the young and homeless focus group meet up.

Housing is an essential commodity. Yet like me, most of us take these places that we call ‘home’ for granted. But if you take a step back and think about it, our homes are actually a fundamental foundation in our lives, which enable us to prosper both socially and economically. Take our homes away from us, and we become stripped of power, security, hope and a sense of future.
