PROVIDE MORE FEMALE-ONLY SHELTERSMany homeless women, particularly those who are rough sleepers refuse to stay in mixed gender hostels due to previous abuse and violence within them. We need more female-only shelters to provide a safe haven for these vulnerable members of society11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lynsey Burke

Improve oppertunities for the Homeless in ManchesterManchester City Centre frequently looks like a campsite with the sheer amount of people who sleep on the streets, in doorways and parks. How can a city striving to compete nationally and internationally economically and in culture aspects simply ignore the issues surrounding homelessness that is happening at the bottom of their office blocks? The conditions that councils use to decide who qualifies to receive short-term, long-term and emergency housing need revising as they are responsible for socially excluding people and denying them of a basic human right.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tom Haskins

Repeal of Vagrancy Act 1824!The legislation is harmful to those it affects and is a non sustainable method of supporting the homeless and those who rough sleep. We need more support distributed to those who are homeless, not to convict them and make them criminals.35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Harry Webb

Homes for Asylum SeekersAsylum seekers are been forced to live in horrible living conditions and receive no empathy from G4S, the company that manage the conditions refugees are made to live in. Asylum seekers are not permitted to work when they are waiting on a response from their case so are unable to earn an income to improve their quality of life. The change from council-house providers to G4S has been labelled a "disaster for asylum-seeker housing in Yorkshire and the North East" (Liberty, 2017). In 2012, 881 out of the 2,000 asylum seekers in many towns in Yorkshire were forced to move into poorer conditions by G4S. This is just one example of the terrible situations asylum seekers find themselves in when they come to the UK. Sign this petition today if you agree that G4S have a responsibility to ensure that asylum seekers receive standard living conditions. Help stop people having to live inadequate housing!23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Adam Yeadon

Council Homes for the ManyLocal estate residents have so far not won any concessions to their vision for the regenerated estate even though these proposals have been in the public arena for well over two years. There have been repeated calls over this time for the Council to commit to delivering on these demands. But so far it has fallen on deaf ears. Enough is enough. It is more than time that residents were listened to. Started by: Phil Bevin (Kingston & Surbiton Labour Party)93 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Phil Bevin

Make it so churches and other large buildings have to open for homeless people at night time.‘The beast from the East’ is currently in the UK, and even though this will pass, imagine if you or a loved one had to sleep outside for the night? Many have died already due to the freezing conditions, and whilst most wouldn’t like a complete stranger living in their house, large unused buildings could be a godsend to people in need. Regardless of weather conditions, all human beings should have the right to know they have somewhere indoors to rest their head. People would be able to socialise, share resources and know that they’re safe from the conditions which no human should have to endure.24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by I Connelly

Licensing of Social Housing Managers.In my Tower Block at one time 41 flats out of 86 had dubious people living in them. This was highlighted was the Gas Supply was turned off from the whole block, and Gas-Engenderers needed to enter every flat, in one day but after 2 weeks still could not get into 41! and we all had 2 weeks warning of this essential safety check, as the pipework had to be pressurised to remove any residue. WE Have Homelessness simply because of Social Housing Fraud!. People who will not integrate so are a danger with water leaks, infestation or just call at night to collect the latest batch of Credit Cards or mail in general using the address as a Fraud Factor or to water the Cannabis Plants after hot wiring the Electric meter. Sending a letter or making a phone call is not enough but all they do to protect bonuses connected to the percentage of rent collected!. Run a Crime Hub-but pay the rent OK, Be made redundant or be taken seriously ill and owe a weeks rent and the legal process to evict you will start.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rev/Mr Payl Nyles

Council's investment in Social HousingThanks to the Government's 'Right to Buy' Policy, local government are forced to offer Social Housing at heavily discounted prices - at approximately up to 70% of value - to elderly, disabled and vulnerable residents in Independent Living Accommodation; thus reducing the housing stock in Social Housing overall. Affordable Housing is only offered at 20% of value which most cannot afford. If residents cannot get social housing, either through an association or the council, they are forced into the more expensive - ON AVERAGE 4 TIMES AS MORE - private renting. For example: In the last six months, 130 Independent Living Accommodation Sites have been lost, never to replaced, amounting to 2% of the current total Social Housing within the Stroud Area alone; an issue that is being replicated across the United Kingdom.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stuart Merrick
