London Borough of Lewisham, GB removes barrier to social services for the homeless with ProxyAddress

London Borough of Lewisham, GB ProxyAddress Homeless

In Progress

ProxyAddress provides free addresses to homeless residents in the borough. The addresses are digital copies of addresses from the country's 225,000 vacant homes. Participants complete applications for everything from bank accounts to jobs with their ProxyAddress information. This first-in-the-UK service forwards mail to the user's preferred pickup location including PO boxes and council offices. Lewisham pursued the pilot in recognition of the importance of housing as identification.
