Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand you're concerned about housing for homeless armed forces veterans, however it's not clear what you want the Government to do in order to achieve this.
In any case, the legal responsibility for securing permanent accommodation for unintentionally homeless people in priority need rests with local authorities, not the UK Government. The Government is therefore not directly responsible for the action this petition calls for.
You could have a petition calling on the Government to provide funding to help find homes for homeless veterans, if that is something you'd like to see happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
