Prince William's New Initiative Aims to End Homelessness in UK

  • Prince William launched Homewards, a five-year project to end long-term homelessness in the United Kingdom.
  • The program provides funding and expertise to local organizations, individuals, and businesses to develop tailored solutions to homelessness in their communities.
  • Six locations received 500,000 pounds from the Royal Foundation to develop pilot programs.
  • The initiative was inspired by similar efforts in Finland that provide permanent housing first before addressing other issues like substance abuse.
  • Prince William has long supported anti-homelessness charities, following in the footsteps of his late mother, Princess Diana.
