This report explores what the housing situation might be like for young people who will be aged between 18 and 30 in 2020. The key findings are as follows: Around 1.5 million more young people aged 18–30 will be pushed towards living in the Private Rented Sector in 2020, reflecting the growing problems of accessing both home ownership and social renting. Without a sustained and long-term increase in new housing supply, demand-side initiatives to bridge the deposit gap for aspiring homeowners risk maintaining the inflated house prices they are meant to overcome. Three groups of young people are increasingly marginalized in the UK housing system: young families, those on low incomes, and those who are vulnerable due to their support needs; the push of these groups towards private rented housing requires a renewed focus on improving the supply, quality, and stability of housing in both the private and social rented sectors.
