Prince William believes you can have zero homelessness and he’s using Finland as a case study

Prince William believes you can have zero homelessness and he’s using Finland as a case study.

The Prince of Wales is launching a five-year, locally led plan in six flagship locations around the UK that will demonstrate it is possible to end homelessness, Kensington Palace announced on Monday.

The program, “Homewards,” will bring together “an unprecedented network of organisations and individuals,” tapping into their collective expertise to “create and deliver a tailored plan to prevent homelessness in their areas,” the palace said.

It will provide up to £500,000 ($637,000) of flexible seed funding in each of the six locations – which will be announced later this week – to support projects, and findings from the program will be used to create a model that can be used elsewhere across the UK and internationally.

“In a modern and progressive society, everyone should have a safe and secure home, be treated with dignity and given the support they need,” the Prince of Wales said in a statement Monday, marking the launch of his first big initiative as heir to the throne.

Prince William is going to have to move the goalposts to get a win.

England had that before Henry VIII seized the monasteries.

“Three hots and a cot” on the government dime only shifts the problem into tax-funded institutions.

I don’t think he knows that most homeless people WANT it that way.

One Finnish winter would solve our homeless problem.

We all know this is a pointless exercise, but obviously he doesn’t. I hope he’s allowed to fail to see that it’s not the simple problem he THINKS it is.

All Prince William had to do was to volunteer at a Soup Kitchen and make sure that the cameras are there.

An article about the endearing nicknames Kate and Prince William used for each other...

including a photo of “Big Willy” the prince himself, complete with green teeth (maybe the photo was doctored - fauxtography)

Prince William has got to look busy and righteous to keep the Royal Family going. The RF needs the public’s approval. One day William will be king. I have nothing against the RF.

Look at the Harry/Meghan disgrace—— Blech!

Unlike his whipped brother Harry, William seems like a decent and reasonable fellow.
But, yeah. He has no understanding of the real world. And he’s got a lot of time on his hands.

So why not spend an afternoon to sketch out a grand plan to save humanity?

If Finland truly has eliminated homelessness, they’ve implemented forced institutionalization for those who refuse to live in homes or shelters.

$637k per area? I see that getting wasted real quick and the problem no where near solved.
