If somebody living at home wants to seek rented accommodation but cannot afford it, he or she cannot afford it. The same is true of somebody not working or working. I am sorry, but the State is not in the business of helping anybody who wants to leave home to find rented accommodation. We are in the business of supporting people who previously were in rented accommodation and are finding it difficult; otherwise we would end up paying rent for everybody in the country.
