hyh has been preventing homelessness since 1998, providing education, advice and support to young people in our local community to ensure that they have someone safe and knowledgeable to turn to.
At hyh we are always looking to improve and innovate, making sure our variety of crucial services are running smoothy and reaching as many young people that need them as possible. But it’s so important to pause, and reflect on how hyh came to be in the first place.
Throughout our proud history, we are pleased to have collaborated with many different statutory, county council, local authority and charity partners as well as funders to support our vital work with families and young people. We also wish to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has worked for us or chosen to support us with donations, raising awareness or sharing their time, experience or skills.
However, our work is not done. The cost of living crisis and predicted rise in youth homelessness, the strains on young people’s mental health, the lack of social housing and high costs of private rented accommodation mean that we must continue to offer our vital services for the foreseeable future.
We will add to this timeline in the future, as we grow and improve, continuing our mission to break the cycle of youth homelessness in Hertfordshire.
