I heard about this on the radio Tuesday night, a service I was unaware of... Nightstop UK believes that "no young person should be homeless or have to sleep in an unsafe place" (website). The chap who was being interviewed explained how his family, and over 600 other volunteer homes countrywide, provide emergency safe homes for young people to stay short-term, having received appropriate training and vetting.
I went on to look at the Nightstop Sussex page, where they include young people (16-25) and adults too (26+), however, the nearest place to Hastings is in Brighton, so not quite local, but worth knowing about all the same. Anyway, if you know of anyone requiring help, this could be well worth looking into.
