What's next project
The What's next Project provides early, confidential support to young people aged 16-25 who may be at risk of homelessness or housing instability. We work particularly with young care leavers, young women, young people from the LGBTQIA+ Community and young people experiencing family breakdown, conflict or housing uncertainty.
Our aim is to provide pre crisis support to help prevent homelessness before it happens.
