On Monday, Prince William “launched” Homewards, his new homelessness program. Kensington Palace has been blanketing the British media with grandiose talking points about how William is the “heart and soul” of this homelessness program and he’s “personally” funding a program with the goal to “end homelessness.” When you look past the entirely Peg-centered narrative, Homewards sounds less like a groundbreaking initiative and more like the Royal Foundation simply throwing £3 million at the problem and expecting other people to solve it in William’s name. Nevermind the fact that actual homelessness experts are also wary of this entire f–king scheme. Yahoo UK had more details about how Homewards is structured, as well as criticism for William’s whole mindset:
Homewards will see Prince William and the Royal Foundation partner with six different locations across the UK to show that ending homelessness is possible. He then aims to scale this model up throughout the country and beyond in the long term. Each location will receive up to £500,000 of seed funding to allow them to deliver an action plan, created in conjunction with homelessness organisations and an independent research partner.
National charities like Crisis will be closely involved as sector partners, as well as those with lived experience of homelessness or those who have worked in the sector for a long time and companies like NatWest, Ikea and the Duchy of Cornwall will provide resources and investment into implementing the action plans and provide solutions to ending homelessness.
Prince William said: “Everyone should have a safe and secure home, be treated with dignity and given the support they need. Through Homewards, I want to make this a reality and over the next five years, give people across the UK hope that homelessness can be prevented when we collaborate. It’s a big task, but I firmly believe that by working together it is possible to make homelessness rare, brief, and unrepeated.”
William’s plans have been criticised by anti-monarchy campaign group Republic, who branded the announcement “performative”, adding: “Homelessness is a political issue that needs a government response. The royals spend hundreds of millions a year on themselves. Until they sort that out this kind of thing is hypocritical nonsense. As with Earthshot, this is a small project blown out of proportion by palace PR and the media. It will not tackle homelessness.”
Some have also noted that “ending homelessness” should remain firmly in the purview of the government, rather than becoming increasingly the responsibility of the philanthropic sector. Dr. Ed Owens, a royal commentator and historian, said the royal family has previously involved itself in the issue, including as far back as the 1850s when Prince Albert tried to improve the quality of workers’ housing.
But, he warned: “The impact of this kind of royal philanthropy is also more complex than it at first seems. Whilst on the surface William’s plans seem admirable, they are also profoundly political and speak to much deeper failings within Britain to properly address the social ill of homelessness. By ‘capturing’ this issue as an area where royalty is legitimately able to take a lead in offering solutions, the monarchy is working to transform homelessness from an issue that was once the responsibility of government to something that will instead increasingly be the focus of philanthropists, voluntarist groups and the private sector.”
Lawyer and broadcaster Chris Daw said: “I have enormous respect for Prince William’s commitment to the homeless but the truth is that nothing will change for them. Until the government changes.”
Republic’s statement is much more concise than I managed: “As with Earthshot, this is a small project blown out of proportion by palace PR and the media.” That’s exactly what happened. But it’s William blowing the whole thing out of proportion by making these wildly grandiose statements and centering himself as the sole savior of homeless people. What’s happening is that six different “locations” will get £500,000 each, and they have to use that money under strict guidelines from the Royal Foundation, Crisis, Centrepoint and various existing homeless charities, and how will that guidance be applied? Is the money actually going towards building another layer of bureaucracy?
Here’s my constant question when it comes to William and Kate’s busy work – would it not be smarter to simply give the money to charity partners so that the charity can administer the funds how they see fit? Of course not – because it’s not enough that William is donating money (through his foundation), he also has to be seen as a credible expert in the field, that he alone worked out this brilliant scheme to end homelessness. Same with Kate and her Early Years crap – for all of the time, energy and pie charts her staff has dedicated to making Kate look like a credible Early Years expert, they probably should have just partnered with some charities doing good work, and made Kate attend some fundraisers (or even, gasp, host some fundraisers).

“up to 500,000 to deliver an action plan, created in conjunction with homelessness organisations and an independent research partner.”
Oh so the money will mainly go to consultants
My thoughts exactly. You’re going to pay for a plan that won’t be actionable without more funding and systemic change in regulatory practices. The only win is for the consultants.
The Republic is spot on that homelessness is way more complex than most people realize and definitely won’t be solved with $3million.
That’s how I read it, up to 500k to pay for a study. Groundbreaking.
Exactly that.
Since the money is for 5 years, it means £100,000 a year for constancy and guidance per location. That’s not much effort and work, given the everage consultancy fees. So, to conclude – nothing will come out of this without extra money to execute any of those 5 plans.
It’s indeed like the Earth flop prize; throw some donor’s/Duchy millions around to biggen Willy’s ego. He’s not gonna do any hard work. He will show up to be glorified, take the credits and read a staff prepared speech.
Rinse and repeat. Next.
Like the Republic group said, give back the money that should be public anyway. (And add in all the property holdings).
Here’s what my non-profit eats hear: “we’re going to give you some money that has a bunch of restrictions and expect you to produce something great that inevitably makes us look great, but the same application is going to include the question “how are you going to sustain this program when the money is gone?” And I will know that it’s actually setting us up to spend a lot of time, energy, and resources (because who turns down free money – try to explain that to your donors) only to have a program fold in two years because we now have to go fundraise that additional amount. Ultimately, your perfomative gesture will actually hurt our organization.
This. How is anybody this going to be sustained? That was my first thought. I’ve seen many projects go down the tubes for this reason.
I’m also in non-profit work, and Nutella, I totally agree with you. On the face of it, it sounds good, right? Here is some seed money and a consultant to help you (nonprofit) innovate creative solutions to a complex problem. Time and money that you would likely not have to devote to innovation, so yay! On the other hand, the consultant provided for you….the restrictions…..a wonderful idea may come of this, and I’ll happily eat my words, but I don’t think so. Most of the funding is going to go to that “independent consultant”.
That’s exactly right.
I wish we had a like button, Nutella, because I would click it a million times. This is the type of gift that is barely such that we get offered at the non-profit I work with all the time.
This. Starting your own charity should be eyed with suspicion rather than treated as a sign of virtue and perfection. Having to dance for all these funders seriously impacts the work of the work people actually helping other people. And so much of this is work the government could be doing far more efficiently if they simply taxed the wealthy at a more equitable rate.
Like @Uncdancer I wish for a like button. I worked for a charity organisation for over a decade, and my first thought was this means a lot of job with little long time impact. Then I read about the indepentent research partner and thought – oh, there goes the donated money! The charities will have to do their part for free in addition to their ordinary job.
@NUTELLA
Maybe modify that to say, “we’re going to give you a little money…..”
3M, one time, at a problem of that scope is peanuts.
Now if it were 3M per week? That would be better.
Also, wasn’t around 3M what the Middletons were in debt up to their gills for? Gotta wonder how he came to that figure….
If only an organization would turn down the funds, that would be grand. A bold thanks but no thanks.
Charities largely fill the gaps of failed public policy. They are band-aids on bullet holes. What has worked on tackling homelessness is a “housing first” policy but that seems not feasible in Britain.
If this plan involves housing the unhoused in steady, safe environments and giving them access to services that is good. I think the real problem isn’t that this model is unsustainable but without significant changes to public policy(unlikely with the Tories), they aren’t addressing the problem at all.
I used to work in nonprofits around poverty alleviation and my sister works with the unhoused.
If it’s not helpful, it’s not help. I see it happening at the department I work in. Throw a big pot of money, less than 30 days before the end of the fiscal year, and what you buy with it needs to be here and in circulation by then. And there’s a long rider of restrictions.
Also a working unicorn here – I think we should turn them over to Joan Garry and let her handle the rest…all of this above…take that $3MIL, find a nonprofit already doing it with best practice and doing it right, give up a part of your shameful estate, and develop a multi-family, affordable housing complex with supportive social services.
Will is a psychopath.
Yup, vanity thy name is William. This could have been done without the fanfare, just a simple statement, like “Prince William has instructed the Royal foundation to donate x amount of pounds to organisations that are already working hard to try and help with the homeless situation.” instead it joins the ever growing list of his “life’s work”, and gets him, NOT THE CHARITIES, HIM, endless days of unearned publicity. That money is going to disappear into the pockets of consultants and managers and very little into solving the actual problem.
So true @mary pester. It’s the over the top fanfare. He could have just done it without calling himself the heart and soul of the initiative.
I love this commenter’s take. It is conservative and elitist to transition from a guaranteed government-based social net to private philanthropy where people look like heroes but can pull the cash any time they want, funnel money to their cronies on the quiet, and whitewash their terrible business practices. It’s giving shades of the Victorian era’s policies of outdoor relief and workhouses, which happened in the background of worker exploitation and were certainly not helping the poor. Basically, this is a major piece in the puzzle of increasing wealth disparity.
YES!
Not only that but isn’t 500,000 next to nothing in England?? What do they expect to do with that? Build thatch houses?
If at least it would go to six patch houses that would do more than this will do. For three million they could have built a house with maybe 20 rooms or so for homeless at a nominal rent to cover utilities etc. And then slowly replicated this every few years, that would have been a drop in the ocean but better than this money for „a plan“. Who will find the implementation of these plans?
Another “look at me scheme” designed solely to boost William’s own ego and that will amount to nothing productive. Real philanthropists operate quietly. This is not philanthropy. It’s personal publicity.
And homelessness is 100% a government issue and the failure of governments to prevent or “end” it is the world’s great shame.
Camera crews, selfies, front page splashes, deceptive headlines, grandiose claims. It’s all about getting that much needed publicity and what happens after that? Big shrug. It’s all too boring for Kate and Willy. And besides, no one ever circles back and asks if their grand plans make any difference in the end.
William could accomplish so much more if he 1.) weren’t so damn lazy, and 2.) just accepted that not everybody is an “ideas person”. He has no lived experience with the issues he claims to want to address, and his university education seems to have been a going-through-the-motions sort of thing. He probably doesn’t even know much about the subject he “studied” there, much less an extremely complex issue like homelessness. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with throwing your money behind people who actually know what they’re doing. As long as you don’t try to take full credit for what those experts do, it’s a perfectly respectable and even admirable way to go about it. But that’s the part William can’t handle. He values his own ego over the wellbeing of the homeless.
Also, questions for UK ‘Bitches: I’ve seen a couple of people comparing William’s efforts (and I use that word VERY loosely) with his father’s Prince’s Trust. What exactly does the Prince’s Trust do? How involved is/was Charles? Has it had any real successes, or is the praise I’ve seen just coming from the usual sycophants?
I can’t stand any of the royals, but I have to reluctantly admit that the Prince’s Trust is a pretty decent charity. It has various programmes focused on getting young people into jobs, education and training. AFAIK there weren’t other UK charities focusing on that when Charles set it up, so it filled a gap, and it seems to be fairly well run. It has helped a lot of young people, like Idris Elba. I think Charles is mostly involved on the fundraising side, which is the appropriate place for him IMO. The two aren’t really comparable, William’s is a nothingburger.
All those hand gestures. Will looks ridiculous. Will could not even get along with his brother and sister in law and now brags about preventing homelessness. What a joke.
“Ending homelessness” is the kind of idea someone comes up with when they’re just plain dumb. Why doesn’t he just try to bring about world peace?
Charles and Harry have a lot in common when it comes to being somewhat innovative in the charity realm..
He already promised to help bring peace to the Middle East. I guess he solved that along with racism, so he’s moved on to homelessness.
That William even went out there in 2018 and announced that he was going to ‘bring peace to the Middle East’ shows you how irredeemably thick he is. And arrogant. Because surely, SURELY somebody around him went ‘ Er, sir, the Middle East situation is highly sensitive, volatile, intractable, religious, racial with roots in our own colonialism and has defeated the efforts of many statesmen on all sides for decades. For someone who barely managed to scrape through his GCSE Geography, might we suggest you pledge to tackle something more…manageable? Realistic? Not sodding laughable?”
And William went “No. I SHALL do what I want. And you are fired. Bring me someone who lets me do whatever floats into my head AND tells me how brilliant my every thought is.”
Egg should simply partner with Jared Kushner, who also successfully brought peace to the Middle East, and also fixed our country’s infrastructure, and solvedCovid. What these two couldn’t accomplish together! 😏
I agree with everything Kaiser has said. I also think the tone of the rollout of this project is just wrong. William was taking selfies and doing walkabouts like it was a regular royal visit. Homelessness is a serious and complex issue that can’t be solved by the charities alone. Government intervention is essential and there needs to be the political will to bring change. Somebody said that the politicians use the threat of homelessness to keep society in check and that’s why the Government refuses to solve the problem.
I think Diana would be deeply ashamed of her first born son .
He has no redeeming qualities ,not one to be proud of .
Diana is certainly snatching her good looks back. Pegs looks more like a leek with every passing day. 😟
Beverley, that’s so mean to say about leeks!
As I said when William began blathering on about homelessness a couple of weeks ago, the monarchy neither can nor should be responsible for ending homelessness. And, yes, this is very reminiscent of that other pr stunt, Early Years. To me, this is all just a performative exercise designed to fool the British people into thinkng that the monarchy is not only relevant in modern times but absolutely essential. After all, if the monarchy is abolished, they want everyone to think, who will care for the homeless?
6 locations seems so vague. Are these 6 locations already housing people? Are they actually going to house people? Or is it just the home of an org that’s going to use 500,000 to come up with a plan? Sooo vague. I’m still laughing at how his people are making sure the royal reporters say, “this isn’t a pr move.” Lol, if you have to say it’s not a pr move aloud, then it’s definitely a pr move.
So the 6 locations will receive “up to 500k” – so they might not receive that full amount?
Aren’t there charities and organizations out there already that know the issues around homelessness and have an idea of what needs to be done to reduce it? Like it seems to me he’s creating an extra step here so that he can say he “did something.” Just give money to reputable organizations.
Like Kate’s Early Years initiative, this isn’t necessarily a bad idea in itself. Okay he wants to help reduce homelessness in the UK? That’s a good thing. But then its everything that comes after that that is just disastrous. He’s not going to “reduce,” he’s going to “solve.” Except he’s actually not, he’s just going to raise “hope” that homelessness CAN be “solved.” and he’s donating 3 million personally except it actually comes from the royal foundation and where does the RF money come from anyway?
It’s interesting that some of the negative points that this project brings up are being discussed at all in the UK press.
The kind of help that is needed & is what is suggested in this article is exactly what Harry & Meghan give. They don’t try to reinvent the wheel, they just offer help. They would invent the wheel if necessary. Harry & Meghan smartly partner with others at times. At other times, its their personal money that is used to donate
Yet the royalists criticize Harry & Meghan getting it right.
Good thing is it doesn’t deter Harry & Meghan! They remain committed to doing good. And make a living to which they have every right.
In many ways, they know their place — to support the people doing the work and not reinventing the wheel. The ones who don’t like know-it-alls are ones who know not enough.
That’s why the grants Mackenzie Scott (Bezos’ ex) gives are so welcome (in addition to the amounts!). They’re given without restrictions on how the money can be spent; it’s up to the organization to decide how the funds can best be used.
All talk and no action, as usual. He’s again funding “research” and “collaboration”. William and Kate have been doing this for years with no results. They have not improved lives or made any significant dents on the society. Actually, they have made a dent: they’ve contributed to the media’s toxicity. Toxicity and Kate’s coat dresses will be their legacy. I can’t understand how they’re not mortified at their lackluster performance as royals and human beings.
Anyway, here’s a quote from the Finnish NGO providing housing for homeless: “The most important thing is that there’s a long-term plan on how to provide the needed affordable social housing. Without that, homelessness is a mission impossible. Shelters should be for very short stays, and there should always be a route forward out of shelters.”
William is not a statesman by any stretch of the imagination. He has no experience at all. He just shows up and talks about homelessness and it becomes all about him. He just is there for show. Kate preaches too but lacks experience or study of early years. The earthshot conferences seem to be Kate and will playing dress up when the finalists were not even invited to participate or even attend.
My favorite part from the Republic quote reminds readers that the ‘royals spend hundreds of millions on themselves and until they sort that out, this is all hypocritical nonsense.’ Yep.
@ Mrs. Smith, so true! At least some people are seeing the how the sausage is being made and exposing the secrets and when you see, you become fully aware as to WHY you don’t want to eat sausage again.
I’m very confused by this. At first i thought these centers would be like halfway homes which would be a great step and helpful for some people but after reading this it seems like the purpose of these centers is just to do research and formulate plans and I’m just not getting the point because aren’t there already studies done on this stuff? People already know the contributing factors that lead to homelessness; the government should be finding ways to mitigate that while local charities work to filling in the gaps.
To Kaiser’s point the Royal Foundation could just provide grants to groups doing this research and the charities that are providing service but theyve chose to do this instead and thus it definitely reads now like Kate’s 5 big questions mess and will probably just as ineffective but garner them good PR which was probably the entire goal.
Ah, but those studies don’t have Wails name on it so they’re clearly not good enough!
Because that’s the whole point of this, put his name on something so that he can claim he is some kind of stateman or that he has done anything while still being the lazy ass that he is.
Like I said yesterday, $3 million for a bunch of meetings.
I’d be very interested in who is receiving this 3 million. If anyone. My guess is it’s another friends and family affair.
I, naively, expected to see a couple of commentators call William out on this being a political intervention and was astonished to see one in the Daily Fail (I know, rolls eyes) basically say “William’s being political here but I say good for him!” The level of protection and propaganda is off the charts.
That’s exactly it – the level of protection & propaganda for W&K is off the charts.
I wonder how much of all this is to establish the new order in the aftermath of The Queen’s death, and perhaps after this first year more realistic reporting will prevail?
I have no idea if his ideas/donations are any good but I do disagree with charities not being best equipped to work with homeless issues compared to the government. The problem with the government in a democracy is it always changes. This can change, for example, how homeless or just poor people receive govt monthly checks, creating instability. not that autocracies like China solve homelessness in a humane way, they do not. As for William, let’s see what happens.
I don’t even think on it’s face this looks good. I mean, can we really take a minute and process what we are seeing here: a member of the royal family is engaging in a blatantly political campaign and people are just sitting there like yea, sure, great? It’s hugely inappropriate for William as pow and future monarch to be doing this. Like others have said, this is a government issue. I mean, can you imagine if CP Frederick or another of the European CPs launched a similar campaign in his own office?? William is completely overstepping and the govt really should be advocating that he get back in his own lane (supporting charities) but I bet they won’t. And British public is just going along. Shame.
He’s been planning to tackle homelessness since 2019 and this is all he has to show for it? What a joke. Also, why should anyone take him seriously when he’s been in a briefing war with Andrew about getting another taxpayer-funded home. 🙄
Poor Peg. No matter how he grasps, he’ll never have the impact Harry has. He’ll never be even half the man his brother is.
The irony is too much. A man who most likely encouraged his father to evict his brother and family, leaving them with no safe haven , is pledging to end homelessness.
Have I understood correctly? The money will mostly go to more studies and research? Aren’t there any ? It seems similar with kate’s early years project…when can we expect the pie charts?
I know more silly studies telling us what we know.
“would it not be smarter to simply give the money to charity partners so that the charity can administer the funds how they see fit? Of course not – because it’s not enough that William is donating money (through his foundation), he also has to be seen as a credible expert in the field, that he alone worked out this brilliant scheme to end homelessness. ”
And giving money to charity partners means accountability. Willyboy wants to fund through the royal foundation to cook the books so his scheme literally enriches him. We will one day find out what a scam the whole thing is. Mark my words…
When I donate money to a charitable organization I don’t include a letter telling them how I want the money spent or suggestions as to how to do their job or send a “consultant” to analyze their operation. I just send the money to support them as they do the work they have already determined needs to be done.
Why is it so hard for wealthy people to just donate money? Why do they have to center themselves every. damn. time?
Also, this is yet another example of the difference between WandK and HM. HM research charities, donate money, and ask “how can we best support your work”. Then they do it quietly and without bragging to the media about how great they are.
@ BLUENAILSBETTY, because H&M have established themselves as how impactful their work is. They have shown how successful their philanthropy is in taking steps in a better world for everyone!! That is what is driving Burger King as he has nothing to show for the last 20 years as the next heir. Another show and tell of PR puffing and huffing of the nothing Burger King.
Why not you donate some of your vast swaths of lands Burger King? The Monarchy are the largest land owners in the UK, are you not?
Prince William said: “Everyone should have a safe and secure home, be treated with dignity and given the support they need.
Key word takeways here should be “safe,” “secure,” “dignity,” and “support.” He couldn’t even get up the energy to do any of that to his own brother and sister-in-law. His new venture into solving homelessness rings hollow and reeks worse than sewage. New project, new photo-op. It’s like Pegs has a check list of things he needs to check off or something just so he can have the street cred and call himself a social justice warrior. This guy needs to stop trying so hard to be the replacement Harry that the U.K. cast aside.
Homewards is a little too close to Squidward, whom Willy resembles.
Maybe if William and his team didn’t go around yesterday telling everyone that William is so great he connects with people like a natural everyone is jealous and envious of William . William and his PR lackeys decided that was the Route they choose to do the day of William launch his big boy project and now that people are calling out his Vanity project actually criticism is coming his way all of suddenly this is not PR it’s his life work . William doesn’t given a damn about homeless this is once again William obsessions with having a one side competition with Harry .
Rishi Sunak needs to put his billions where his mouth is. He needs to light a fire under the Tory government’s rich a$$es. Just showing up to serve an occasional breakfast to the homeless is all performative nonsense. Insolvencies in England and Wales have hit a new and frightening high. Many people who had been gainfully employed are now not able to pay their rent or mortgage because they’re spending their woefully small jobseeker’s allowance on food and heat, which naturally leads to homelessness. It’s not a complicated equation, and William’s half-a$$ed attempt to garner headlines for himself as the saviour of the homeless is also nothing more than performative nonsense.
Sunak just like trump was expected to fix things because they are so wealthy. They don’t need bribe money.
We know trump money is a sham but Sunak has a big problem. His money is real. All this talking is beneath him. He has enough pull and people to make something work. His wife can start a company and employ a bunch of people just to make her husband look good.
They are both too elitist. Sunak won’t win pm in an election and won’t be able to figure out why.
A few years ago William and Kate went to Blackpool, a once famous seaside town which has seen better days. They both had a shocked look on their faces when they toured the area and Kate promising to come back with the kiddies. They have not gone back and have done nothing to help in revitalizing the town. An occasional visit from the future king and his family could have sparked some interest, working with some local organizations etc etc.
It’s rather sad the bubble that he lives in and that he has no one in his life who can be honest with him. Not one friend who can say “Mate, you’re going to be laughed out of town if you say you’re solving the homeless crisis”. Is he even aware of the criticism or is the staff only showing him the article praising him? What a sad life.
When you think about it there’s no reason why these crown princes and princesses cannot hold a job until let’s say age 40-45. Have a good few years of doing something they picked for themselves, before they do the job they have no say over.
Imagine thinking 3 million will end homelessness, but nobody else was willing to pay until you stepped up.
It says a lot that the British media goes along with almost everything he does except when he tries to actually do something.
A commenter on the fail said months ago the establishment chose the Windsors to rule because they weren’t a threat and didn’t want real power. Sounds right to me.
Also this homeless initiative might be a construction scam or money laundering attempt. We will see.
Prince William appears to be mentally slow. The more he exposes himself the more obvious it is. He is a stupid man without basic emotional intelligence. Charles is an odd ball with bad instincts but William is a baffoon who can’t be trusted with basic tasks. I am sure Harry’s leaving left a big hole in the Firm. Meghan too but the family would never admit it.
So can we safely say that WilliamWillNot solve homelessness with this self-aggrandizing little gesture with the people’s money that he claims is his own? Say it ain’t so!
Just to say that two four bedroom houses where I live and it’s not London would cost 3million. He’s utterly out of touch
