Provide public 'care of addresses' for homeless people

Closed 40 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to make public 'care of addresses' - for example at Jobcentre Plus offices - for homeless people, who do not have their own address and might not have anywhere they can use as a 'care of address', to ensure they can receive mail.
To allow people to more easily access healthcare, food, shelter, and warmth, by being in contact with GPs and the DWP. Without this people can starve, and even die, on the street.
