Young people with care experience have access to uni places and while they might be eligible for student halls, if they age out of aftercare support while studying, they can end up leaving university with nowhere to live and no support.
✊ We need to commit to plans for accommodation after uni.

Last year in Scotland, more than 9,000 young people experienced homelessness.
Every single one of them faced anxiety, fear, and isolation.
At Rock Trust, we believe no young person should ever have to face homelessness alone.
