Ensuring financial inclusion and access to services

As more and more essential services move online, losing an address effectively means losing an essential proof of identity that is the gateway to accessing the very services that might help someone at their lowest point, from government portals to banking apps.

ProxyAddress uses the duplicated address details of existing homes to provide those facing homelessness with a consistent, free address which they can use to access the support they need.

By building a platform through which vulnerable people can prove their identity, we will be able to provide each proxy address with the confidence that it can connect those who face homelessness to the services they need for support, independence and recovery.”
