The Benefits of Youth? Report Launch
About
You are invited to the launch of Spring Housing’s latest research report, The Benefits of Youth?Funded by Commonweal Housing and authored by Thea Raisbeck, this report tracked the progress of young people in commissioned supported housing who participated in a pilot scheme delivered by the Department of Work and Pensions and The West Midlands Combined Authority. The pilot sought to address the barriers and disincentives to entering employment for young people in supported housing.
We will be joined by a range of partners to discuss the challenges and opportunities for young people in supported housing, and what we can do as a region and as a nation to better link together housing and employment for both young people and wider supported housing populations.
This event has been generously hosted by Weightmans LLP and supported by the Centre for the New Midlands CIC.
