The Government remains committed to preventing youth homelessness and notes with interest the research that improves understanding of the issue. We are taking specific action in England to support young homeless people into stable accommodation, education and employment.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We have invested £14 million to enable Crisis to support 10,000 vulnerable single people into privately rented tenancies,of which 41 projects are specifically targeted at young people. Our Fair Chance Fund payment by results scheme aims to support 1,600 vulnerable homeless 18-25 year olds into accommodation, education and employment, backed by £15 million. In addition, £40 million is being shared among Platform for Life, a low rent shared accommodation programme to help young homeless people with low needs have a stable base for work and study; and the Homelessness Change Programme, to improve the physical and mental health outcomes for rough sleepers. We have also implemented the \u2018Youth Accommodation Pathway\u2019, a delivery model that supports young people to remain in the family home where it is safe to do so and offers tailored support for those who cannot.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Alongside this, nearly 186,000 affordable homes were delivered between 2011 to 2015 exceeding target by almost 16,000. This Government will ensure 275,000 new affordable homes are delivered between 2015 and 2020.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4311", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Williams of Trafford"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-07-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-07-15T14:32:19.727Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-07-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Homelessness: Young People"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government what assessment they have made of the report by the Cambridge Centre for Housing and Planning Research Estimating the scale of youth homelessness in the UK<\/i>; and what steps they are taking to increase young people's access to affordable housing.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4150", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Armstrong of Hill Top"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Armstrong of Hill Top"} ], "uin" : "HL1173"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/388076", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/388076/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The following table shows the number of casualties aged 65 years old and over who were involved in dwelling fires attended by fire and rescue services in England, where there was reported to have been an electrical power source involved in ignition of the fire.

The ages of people involved are only reported when they are casualties, and so we do not hold information on the total number of fires involving older people.<\/p> <\/p> An electrical source of ignition has been interpreted as where the power source involved in the fire was reported as being electricity, although these figures will include incidents where the cause of the fire was not necessarily a direct result of the electrical source \u2013 for example, including careless handling, placing articles too close to appliances, and cooking.<\/p> <\/p> Data are as reported on the Incident Recording System (IRS) by fire and rescue authorities. 2009/10 was the first year of the IRS and totals are slightly underreported.<\/p>"}
