Young, single and homeless but 'not a priority'

If you're 18, single and homeless, how might local authorities treat you? One woman goes undercover to find out.

In 2013, 25-year-old Mateasa Grant was living with a partner when he began to abuse alcohol and behave threateningly.

Without an income and feeling unable to approach her family, she says she saw no option but to sleep rough.

The next day, she went to her local council for help, but because she was single and over 18 she wasn't seen as vulnerable enough to be a "priority".
