Provide shelter and support for the homeless during the coronavirus pandemic

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

To provide facilities and food for the homeless during the coronovirus pandemic. This will protect them and allow them to be isolated where necessary. The public is being told they will be supported but there has been no mention of the homeless.
It’s their moral duty to help all citizens of this country. Everyone should have the same basic rights to a home, shelter, food and medical facilities.
