William launched his 'Homewards' initiative to end homelessness on Monday, after first being introduced to the social issue by his mother in 1993.
William has been a passionate supporter of homeless charities throughout his life as a working royal and his"Homewards" program is the next step in his ambition to make the issue"rare, brief and unrepeated."
Speaking of the new program, William said, per a press release:"In a modern and progressive society, everyone should have a safe and secure home, be treated with dignity and given the support they need. "I am fortunate to have seen first-hand the tireless work of people and organizations across the sector, the tangible impact their efforts can have and what can be done when communities are able to focus on preventing homelessness, rather than managing it.
