This column was written by members of Cyrenians Catalyst for Change group – a cohort of young people who have experienced – or been at risk of – homelessness and want to make sure other young people don’t have to go through the same thing. In this column, they talk about the circumstances that nearly led to their homelessness – and what can be done about it.
