Prince William is determined to finish the work his mother Princess Diana started to end homelessness with his new five-year programme, Homewards.
According to the British media, Homewards is an ambitious program that seeks to abolish homelessness in six locations across the UK within five years.
“This isn’t a publicity stunt,” a person close to the Prince of Wales told The Telegraph. This is about developing a truly sustainable program that will result in systemic change in the homelessness system.”
Speaking at an event, William said, “My first visit to a homelessness shelter was when I was 11 with my mother. The visits we made left a deep and lasting impression.”
But his critics do not agree with the future king and believe that the project in fact is inspired from Homeward Trust which has been a thing since 2009 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
