About Homewards
Homewards is a five-year, locally led programme, launched by Prince William and The Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales in June 2023.
The aim of Homewards is to demonstrate that together, it is possible to end homelessness – making it rare, brief, and unrepeated.
Homewards was inspired by successful projects from across the UK and around the world, all of which had one mission: to prevent and end homelessness. They brought together all sectors of society and started with a focus on specific groups – to understand the help that is needed.
