The <\/span>Young People\u2019s Rough Sleeping Census<\/a>, carried out by Depaul UK with the support of London Councils, focuses on three boroughs, Camden, Lambeth, and Bromley, and spoke to young people aged 18-25 who have slept rough at least once in the past three months.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
