House the homeless Ex Armed forces first

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

there is a horrible amount of ex service personnel who we have forgotten to look after once they leave the armed forces. Many are having to sleep on the streets because once they have finished their career they have no home to go to. Councils will not help as they have not been evicted.
