Summary of petition
Assembly Member Caroline Russell received and presented the following petition to the London Assembly, which agreed to forward the petition to the Mayor of London for a response:
“We're calling on Sadiq Khan to use his powers and intervene for young people at risk of becoming homeless.
The pandemic is pushing young renters into a crisis. Hundreds of thousands of young
Londoners have asked family and friends to help put them up. From our
research nearly 150,000 Londoners have had to turn someone away.
We're on the cusp of an explosion of youth homelessness. Too many are already sleeping
on the streets. The Mayor must act now and put more money into GLA funding for
specialist support for homeless young people.”
