Prince William will tour the UK to launch his five-year project aimed at ending homelessness
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.
There are around 300,000 people experiencing homelessness across the UK on any given night according to Matt Downie, chief executive of the charity Crisis, one of a number of homelessness partner organisations of Homewards. The research found 72% of those questioned thought homelessness had got worse during the past 12 months, while 73% believed that ending homelessness was not given enough attention by society.
But Republic, which campaigns for an elected head of state, criticised the plans and called on him to "directly" challenge the Government for, it claimed, causing homelessness.
