future king is aiming to demonstrate that 
preventing homelessness is the key to tackling 
the issue as his Homewards initiative turns three. 30 Jun 2026

Emacs!



Perhaps William can let the homeless use one of 
his seven palaces, 10 castles, 12 homes or 56 
holiday cottages as part of the royal family’s £20 billion property portfolio?

£3.5m to help 70 people find a home cost £50,000 per person!

By 2027, Prince Billy’s multi-million pound 
charity is set to house only about 40% of the 250 people they had planned to.

The five-year project is aiming to demonstrate 
that it is possible to end homelessness across the UK.

In its first three years, Homewards has supported 
70 individuals and families into stable homes, 
and over 250 people were supported into 
employment. There are over 100 local initiatives 
involved in the programme, with a £500,000 fund 
to develop and deliver hyper-specific local action.

Homewards is aiming to fund longer term efforts 
to prevent homelessness with £1.9 million 
invested across six locations through the 
Homewards Fund and £3.5 million through grants and private philanthropy.

The number of households living in temporary 
accommodation is at its highest since records 
began, with 134,210 households living in 
temporary housing in England as of the end of 2025.

Many people who are in temporary accommodation 
and social housing face moving into the space 
with zero to little furniture. Homewards is 
setting out to tackle the issue with a £2.3 
million partnership bringing repurposed furniture to those in social housing.

Prince William’s initiative has brought together 
The Multibank, B&Q, Bosch Home Appliances, DFS 
Group, Howdens and IKEA to furnish 42 homes so 
far, with a target of 250 by the end of the programme.
