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.

The stooge forgets to say that Finland is ethnically cohesive.

Good goal. Now, open up all the property owned by the royal family and let the homeless live there.

You die if you’re unsheltered in Finland.

so if I am a mentally ill man who doesn’t want to work and is addicted to drugs and alcohol, who figured out long ago I could make more money standing on a street corner and just asking for it.

Tell me how you are going to make me “not” homeless?

I don’t want or will accept treatment or any kind
I don’t want to work.
I will not live under any rules dictated by government housing.

There is no solution to the above short of forcibly institutionalizing them! Which is exactly what the right has been saying from the start!

He should ask his brother to test out this plan in Santa Monica. :)

Monarchs are supposed to support charities. There’s not much else that they actually do.

Probably it is the Finnish winter that makes the difference, but this is very much in the tradition of what royals have long done.

Prince William needs to gain an understanding of small populations, demographics, genetics and clan organization.

Finland is something like 92% Finnish and then another 5% other northern Europeans. There is no "out group". Certainly not a myriad of out groups.

What "works" in Finland could never work in the disaster that is the modern UK.
