Read our privacy policy The Prince of Wales will tour the UK to launch a project aimed at ending homelessness and ensuring the issue is “rare, brief and unrepeated”. “It’s a big task, but I firmly believe that by working together it is possible to make homelessness rare, brief, and unrepeated and I am very much looking forward to working with our six locations to make our ambition a reality.” Homes will be a focus of the programme, with each location supported to deliver an innovative housing project that will test new ways to unlock homes at scale within the location and beyond. With levels of homelessness only set to increase innovative programmes like Homewards are more necessary than ever.” open image in gallery Prince William waves to the crowds as his mother, the Princess of Wales, looks on appprovingly during a visit to St. David’s Hall, Cardiff in March 1991 Accompanying the launch is a new Ipsos survey commissioned by William’s Royal Foundation aimed at helping to improving understanding about the issue. Graham Smith, Republic’s chief executive officer, said: “Homelessness is the result of government policy and lack of investment, it isn’t something that can be resolved by charity or royal patronage.” He highlighted the prince’s three homes, Adelaide Cottage, a four-bedroom property in Windsor Castle’s Home Park, Kensington Palace’s 20-room Apartment 1A and Anmer Hall, a mansion on the King’s private Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
