About ProxyAddress




The address that follows you

Losing your home means losing your address. But in 21st century Britain, an address is not just a location – it’s a de facto form of ID; without one, people experiencing homelessness can be prevented from accessing vital services like maintaining or opening a bank account, applying for a job or a driving licence, accessing benefits, receiving post, or even registering with a GP.

ProxyAddress fixes the catch-22 of losing a permanent address by allowing those facing homelessness to “borrow” an existing address so they can access vital services.
