At least 86,000 young people across the UK are estimated
to have sought help from local authorities in 2016-2017 because they were

figures on 217 Freedom of Information responses from local authorities in
England, a robust estimate for the 109 that did not provide this data, and data
from the devolved nations. Read more on 24housing.
