Young homeless people who want to get an education but have serious debt may postpone their repayment for a while in Friesland and Groningen. In these two provinces, young people are allowed to finish their studies before creditors can line up again. This is part of a trial initiated by Stichting Zwerfjongeren Nederland. The organization wants to create a situation for young people in debt in which they can go back to school and build a future for themselves.
