Vulnerable young people forced to the streets by unfair' rental market
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Vulnerable young people are being rejected by landlords due to their age, profession, lack of guarantor or connection to a homelessness service, charity EveryYouth has found. The group organises a network of 10 youth homelessness charities across the UK. A survey of these services showed young people are mainly facing discrimination due to not having a family member who can be a guarantor (90 per cent), followed by their income level (70 per cent) despite being able to afford rent."
Independent journalists report on developing US stories across topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech while refusing to use paywalls. Donations fund reporting that gathers facts and presents both sides of stories. Many young people fall into homelessness because of an unfair rental sector. EveryYouth found landlords reject vulnerable youth for age, profession, lack of guarantor, or links to homelessness services. A survey across 10 youth charities reported 90% lacked a family guarantor and 70% faced income-based discrimination despite being able to afford rent. One 18-year-old, Kalvin, moved from Glasgow, worked as an apprentice, experienced rough sleeping, and sought help from a homelessness charity after landlords refused him as too young.
