Turn empty buildings into homeless shelters and housing

What the petition asks

I am Madison and I'm ten.
When I go out with my parents I am sad to see homeless people everywhere I go. They are human beings and it's cold and they deserve a home, a warm bed. It makes me cry because I think it's really unfair.
Then I see all these derelict and empty buildings, and a solution.
Why should we have people in our wonderful country with no place to call home?
Why do I get to sleep in a safe and warm home whilst people are out in the cold?
Why are there so many empty houses and buildings if there are poeple who need a roof over their heads?
Why are we not fixing this?
