Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
If someone has been refused asylum in the UK, they can ask the Government for support if they are homeless and can show there's a reason why they cannot leave the UK yet:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly how you would like the Government or Parliament to change the current rules.
