How housing scheme aims to help children in care
Children in care face "support dropping away overnight" when they turn 18, with some being taken to the homelessness department on their birthday, a charity has said. Become Charity has welcomed a move by Bury Council to ringfence homes specifically for care leavers as it said teenagers faced a "care cliff" when they transitioned into adulthood. Under the scheme, 44 flats or houses will be made available to care leavers on former council-owned sites across the borough. Katherine Sacks-Jones, Become's chief executive, said more local authorities should be following Bury Council's lead. The local authority is believed to be one of the first councils in England to ringfence homes specifically for care leaves. A direct let and local lettings policy will be devised, meaning that a select number of homes within each development will be ringfenced for care leavers. "Young people leaving care face a care cliff where support drops away overnight and they have to leave care and become independent," Ms Sacks-Jones said. "That can often happen on their 18th birthday. "We've heard of young people on their actual birthday being taken down to the homelessness department. "We want to see an end to the care cliff so young people get the support they need to make that transition into adulthood at a time that's right for them in a managed way." Councillor Lucy Smith said: "Starting your own home is always challenging and it can be especially difficult for our care leavers. "Finding high-quality housing to help transition into adulthood is just one of the many improvements we have recently made for our care leavers." University student Jessica-Rae Williamson is among those who would have benefited from a scheme like this had it been in place at the time. Ms Williamson, who moved out of her foster home the week before her 18th birthday, described the scheme as a "really good idea". "We all have the worry of our local authority just deciding not to support us anymore," she said. "It's happened to me before and that was ripped away from me. "So I think we all have the same worries that that support is going to be taken away before we were ready for it."

City of Yes protestors say no to homeless shelter and lithium storage facility
SHEEPSHEAD BAY, Brooklyn (PIX11) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams may call it his 'City of Yes' housing agenda, but hundreds of South Brooklyn residents are saying 'no, no, no!' Close to 2,000 South Brooklyn residents marched in what they called the Battle for Brooklyn. More Local News One group of protesters gathered at the site of a proposed homeless shelter for 169 families at 2134 Coyle Street. They were joined by another group assembling at Flatbush and Quentin Road. That group is saying no to what they call hazardous lithium-ion battery sites in residential areas. This dual protest converged at Kings Plaza and was organized by a group called New Yorkers First. 'The purpose was to make the City Council aware of the community surrounding us, that we're not going to take it anymore, this 'city of yes',' Ron Cantorino, the rally organizer, told PIX11 News. The new battery energy storage project plant for Marine Park has residents worrying about safety, but the energy company, NineDot, says the existing power grid in Marine Park is extremely stressed. Company officials at a hearing said it can safely store and release electricity without producing direct emissions or pollutants. One of the speakers at the rally disagreed. 'There is no additional permitting, no additional oversight, it's been taken away from the community where these places are located,' Paul Graziano, an urban planning expert, told PIX11 News. More: Latest News from Around the Tri-State At least one resident of the nearby Sheepshead Houses, Brenda Wisdom, says the closed sidewalks, the constantly beating drums, and honking horns may be more of a problem than the future homeless shelter for families, which the City Department of Homeless Services says would not be a danger to the community. 'It doesn't bother me at all because they're pushing people out of their homes. Where are you supposed to go?' Brenda Wisdom, the neighbor, told PIX11 News. The opening date for the homeless shelter is contingent on securing necessary construction permits and approvals from the city and state. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
