I put myself in the shoes of a homeless person for a few minutes while looking at that site for Richmond. They require you to bring both "Proof of homelessness" and "Proof of residence". I don't know what the first one might be, and the second seems to contradict the first (unless "residence" == "right to remain in the UK"?). In any case, I think i'm ill-equipped to be a homeless person, and looking outside at the snow falling I'm appreciating how lucky I am that this isn't an issue I have to deal with right now. Just remembered a local bar/restaurant lets you pay a little extra on top of your bill to fund a dinner for the homeless, I'm making a note to do that next time I'm in.

Note: the first part wasn't a criticism of the site, just a little bit of reflection. I'm actually impressed they have such some sort of information/guidance available

I think proof of residence means proof of a link to Richmond, otherwise it is some other council district that is responsible.

The proof of homelessness might be an eviction notice? I have no more experience than you in this matter.
