This is a local issue, responsibility for which lies with local authorities/charities, not the Government.

Background
There are crisis houses for adults but none specifically for young people. I want local services to fund and open a safe, short-term crisis house for under-18s in Kent, with trained staff and 24/7 support, so young people have somewhere calm and supportive to go without needing hospital admission.
