Definition
What this concern includes
Includes failures of housing provision, capacity or availability that leave vulnerable young people without suitable stable accommodation, including young people experiencing homelessness or severe and enduring mental illness.
Not included

Excludes general social-care, mental-health or homelessness-service capacity deficiencies that do not directly leave vulnerable young people without suitable housing.
Excludes unregulated-placement oversight, provider due diligence and care-placement suitability concerns where housing availability is not the shared unsafe condition.
Excludes housing-benefit, rent-arrears or eviction processes unless they directly establish insufficient availability of suitable housing for vulnerable young people.
