Safe in the City was an innovative response to the problem of youth homelessness. It was set up in 1998 and tasked with piloting new approaches to youth homelessness in London. Building on research findings, it developed an ‘early intervention’ response to homelessness, which meant that it targeted young people who had been identified as being ‘at risk’ of homelessness because of their personal circumstances but who were currently in housing.
