In case you missed it, in March we marked the official opening of Breakwater Place, a brand-new 47-bed supported housing development for young people at risk of homelessness in Plymouth.
Delivered through a powerful partnership between Young Devon, @ymcaexeter , and @plymouthcitycouncil , this project provides safe, secure, and affordable homes for 18 - 25-year-olds who need them most.
The need has never been greater. January 2026 saw 192 young people aged between 18-25 on the Devon Home Choice social housing register for Plymouth, at high risk of homelessness and urgently in need of somewhere to live.
Breakwater Place has been made possible by a £4 million funding grant from Homes England’s SHAP (Single Homelessness Accommodation Programme).
The new homes will give many 18–25-year-olds the option to move on from Plymouth’s higher supported accommodation, foster placements, and supported living arrangements into homes focused on developing independent living skills.
A huge thank you to the BBC and for ITV News for covering this great news. You can read all about the opening of Breakwater Place by visiting youngdevon.org/breakwaterplace
Exploring the wonders beneath the surface! 🌊
As part of Seadreams’ outreach celebrating biodiversity and aquatic habitats, our Independent Living course had an incredible visit from Dr Juliette Jackson.
We dived into the ecology of Plymouth Sound and even experienced it first-hand through VR headsets. A huge thank you to @seadreameducation for inspiring our young people to learn more about the world around them and the importance of protecting it. 🐠💙
