This petition is to raise awareness about the lack of affordable housing available for people aged 18-25. This is caused by the lack of support off government funding and the minimum wage being too low to live independently off. We want to change this. We want more funding for charitable organizations to help young people have the independence they deserve. We want rented housing (council and private) to be cheaper so that it is more affordable for everyone. We want to raise awareness. We want change. We need change. We want to raise more awareness. We want to aim for a solution to this problem by involving young people in refurbishing properties and offering them the properties affordable. We know this is an issue that effects tons of young people every day, so we want to make this change, however big or small. Please show your support to this campaign we have going by signing the petition. Once we have a significant number we will be contacting press and number 10 itself.

The stories shared in the comments reflect the genuine struggle of finding a place to call home when wages simply cannot keep up with the cost of living. Behind the scenes I am gathering data to ensure our presentation to officials is grounded in the reality of your experiences.

Seeing the momentum grow around this cause reminds me that our struggle for housing independence is shared by many. It is clear that the current path is unsustainable for young people and your commitment signals that the time for change is truly upon us.

Its impossible to move out these days without three roommates and a second job. Rent is literally insane.

I really like the idea of young people fixing up empty houses. Gives us a chance to actually afford a place and helps the neighborhoods.

Housing in this country is a joke. Cant even think about buying until I am 40 at this rate.

My landlord just hiked the rent again for no reason. How am I supposed to save for a deposit? Its broken.

Finally someone said it. Working full time on minimum wage and still living at home at 24 is just depressing.
