Prince William will today announce he is more convinced than ever that homelessnesscan be eradicated for good.
He is marking one year of his £3million Homewards project to end the scourge of rough and itinerant sleeping, 'sofa surfing' and substandard temporary family accommodation in six key locations around the country.
The future king will give a speech, saying: 'Homelessness is a complex society issue, and one that touches the lives of far too many people in our society. However, I truly believe that it can be ended.'
The heir to the throne launched his most ambitious public project to date last year, inspired by the legacy of his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, who began taking him to shelters as a young child.
