An address is more than just a location. If a person becomes homeless they also lose means of identification. But with @proxyaddress there is a solution...

Really enjoyed speaking with @g_kafka about the @ProxyAddress story so far. Kudos to George for his amazing write up and the decision to use @cafeartuk participants' beautiful images. 👏 #TechForGood #socialimpact #homelessness
Without an address, it's hard to exist. Architect @chrishildrey designed @ProxyAddress as a system to redistribute postal addresses to people experiencing homelessness. Now the challenge is adapting it to local councils.

Last year, 129,000 young people in the UK were homeless or at risk – an unacceptable number! There must be a #PlanForThe129k – that’s why we’ve joined 90+ organisations to call for a governmental strategy to end youth #homelessness.
Last year 129,000 under-25s approached their council as homeless and we know the true scale could be double. #Planforthe129k
We’ve joined the campaign for a strategy to end youth #Homelessness, to raise the alarm & share the solutions for every young person facing homelessness.
🏠 Homelessness is a symptom shared by a variety of traumas. It's crucial to change how we discuss it and recognize that the underlying issues stem not from personal failure but from 13 years of erosion to the UK's societal safety net. #Homelessness #TraumaAwareness
I question whether people become homeless because of some inherent “vulnerability”.
Rather, it seems, the opposite is true – unaffordable and unstable housing is making people vulnerable to homelessness

🏠 UK rents hit record high with a 5.1% annual increase – while the local housing allowance rates remain frozen at April 2020 levels. Change is needed to prevent a surge in evictions and homelessness. #Homelessness #AffordableHousing #UKRents
🏡Michael Gove pledges 30,000 new *social rent* homes per year. Promising to see the focus shift from the often unaffordable 'affordable' homes. Now to tackle the hole left by Right to Buy. #HousingCrisis #SocialHomes #MichaelGove
