Provide funding to British families equal to support for failed asylum seekers
For every payment made to a failed asylum seeker as part of the Home Office's pilot scheme, the same payment should be made to a British family to be used for a deposit on a home in the UK.
We feel there are too many british people that are held ransom to an extortionate private rental market or on 10-20yr+ waiting lists for a council house. We think the government should provide additional funding to british citizens that matches financial support for failed asylum seekers.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
