This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government
Rejected petition Lower the amount of time homeless people have to live on streets for.
A lovely lady started a group on Facebook to help the homeless. I have helped out as I could and have found out that they are expected to be homeless for 5 years before they will be given any help. This is way to long. A lot can happen in 5 years and with our winters getting colder it's dangerous.
More details
I have meet a few homeless people in a town not far from me. They are human just like everyone else but they are not being treated as such. They are really nice people and very greatful for anything they can get. It not right to expect people to be homeless for 5 years that's way to long and people do die in the cold weather. We need your help.
