What the petition asks
With today’s housing costs and shortage as well as the homeless population increasing it makes sense to use the thousand of very affordable caravans available for sale or for rental.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because it's about something that the UK Government or Parliament isn't responsible for.
Provision of accommodation for homeless people is the responsibility of local authorities.
