Responding to the report, the Local Government Association’s housing spokesman, Cllr Martin Tett said: ‘These figures show that our national housing shortage remains one of the most pressing issues we face, especially for young people, who are increasingly unable to afford their own place.’ The UK housing shortage is causing a growing number of young adults to move back home with their parents, according to a report from Civitas. The thinktank found that 26% of 20 to 34-year-olds were living with their parents in 2017, compared with 19% in 1998. In the past year, more than half (52%) of those aged between 18 and 24 have moved home, up from 47% last year.
