Petition Fund free boarding school places for young people unable to live at home

Provide state funding for places at boarding schools, including education and accommodation, for children aged 16+ who are unable to live at home. This may include LGBT or secular children rejected by their families, or children from dysfunctional homes.

More details

I am a trans-woman who grew up in a religious environment and never had the choice as a child to leave home and live the life I needed to live. I have suffered terribly ever since and, only recently, decades later, have I begun the slow process of transition.
I do not want others to suffer as I have, have their lives robbed from them or face homelessness.
Fully funded places at boarding schools would make it easier for children aged 16+ to choose to leave obstructive homes and live the life of their choice.
