A two-part ITV docuseries titled "Prince William: We Can End Homelessness," directed by BAFTA-winning filmmaker Leo Burley is in the making. The documentary is set to be released in autumn 2024.
Prince William has launched a five-year initiative called "Homewards" in partnership with The Royal Foundation, aimed at ending homelessness in the UK within five years. The initiative began in June 2023 with £500,000 in seed funding.
The Homewards initiative will focus on six critical locations and address various forms of homelessness, including street homelessness, families in temporary accommodation, and youth homelessness.
The Saatchi Gallery will host an art exhibition called "Homelessness: Reframed," in collaboration with the Homewards program and the Eleven Eleven Foundation.
Princess Diana, Prince William's mother, was a patron of charities supporting the homeless during her lifetime. William took over Diana's royal patronage of the Centrepoint charity.
The Royal Foundation, which developed the Homewards initiative, believes television can change perceptions on homelessness, and the documentary will raise awareness and demonstrate that ending homelessness is possible.
