Cornwall Council says it wants to urgently recruit households that can provide supported lodgings for 16- and 17-year-old care leavers.
It says the recruitment drive is to ensure safe accommodation can be given to these young people during the coronavirus outbreak, with additional accommodation needed in the coming weeks.
In a statement, the council lists examples of suitable accommodation, which include a person’s home, annexe or a separate building.
Applicants would need to provide support and access to facilities for any young person placed in their accommodation, it adds.
The council is offering full training and support from its 16+ team in addition to a weekly payment for successful applicants.
