The Prince of Wales's Homewards project, now in its third year, aims to eradicate homelessness across six UK locations by making it "rare, brief and unrepeated". During a speech at London's Tate Modern, William revealed that “Homewards has helped more than 73 people into stable housing” and “supported more than 250 people into employment” since its launch. The initiative has invested £1.9 million, leveraged an additional £3.5 million through grants and philanthropy, and utilised £2.3 million worth of surplus goods to furnish homes. William also engaged with individuals and organisations involved in Homewards during the event at the art gallery in London, including broadcaster Dean McCullough.In fullPrince William shows homemaking skills as he helps tenant furnish new flatThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
