Give British homeless same legal protection from destitution as asylum seekers

Background

Give homeless UK citizens, including veterans, the same legal right to housing and financial support as asylum seekers. No one should be left destitute in their own country. Legal protections would help vulnerable citizens rebuild their lives with dignity.

Additional details

British citizens – including veterans – deserve the same legal right to housing and financial support as asylum seekers. Currently, asylum seekers are protected from destitution by law, while many UK nationals, including those who served this country, are left homeless. With proper support, they are more likely to rebuild their lives, rejoin society, and find work. This is about fairness, dignity, and national responsibility.
