A young people's charity in Exeter says there's been a big increase in teenagers seeking its help because they're facing homelessness.
In the last three months, Young Devon has supported 55 of them, some of whom were sleeping rough.
Those affected are also younger than before, with the average age being 16 and 17.
The charity says there are several factors contributing to the problem, including breakdowns in family relationships, reductions in funding to youth support services, and the use of legal highs.
