ProxyAddress is a social enterprise and service which uses the duplicated address details of existing homes to provide those facing homelessness with a free address which they can use to access support. Without an address, people can be prevented from accessing vital services such as maintaining or opening a bank account, applying for a job or registering with a GP. In October 2020, ProxyAddress has launched a pilot in the south London borough of Lewisham in partnership with the council. ProxyAddress will be offered as a service to those who approach the council for help with their situation of homelessness. Individuals are given a ProxyAddress and guided through processes such as opening up a bank account.
