This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about some people's eligibility for social housing in a particular area, based on their local connection, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

Decisions about whether a person has a local connection to a particular area are a matter for individual local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament, but we could accept a petition calling for changes to when a person is treated as having a local connection to a particular district. You would need to be clear what changes you wanted to be made to this definition.

You can find out how local connections are currently assessed here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/homelessness-code-of-guidance-for-local-authorities/chapter-10-local-connection-and-referrals-to-another-housing-authority

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
