Prince William's recent visit to Wales focused on his Homewards initiative, a project aimed at addressing homelessness in the UK. His visit to Newport, part of a broader effort to combat homelessness, highlighted particularly the challenges women face, including "hidden homelessness" where they are less likely to sleep rough due to safety concerns. William visited the Nelson Trust, which supports individuals facing homelessness, trauma, and domestic abuse. There, he met with survivors like Rebecca, a 32-year-old care assistant who shared her harrowing journey from homelessness to rebuilding her life after facing personal tragedies. William praised her resilience, calling her a "force of nature."
The Homewards project is part of William’s ambition to eliminate homelessness across the UK by 2028. His visit is part of a series of efforts to encourage early intervention, collaboration among local organizations, and a shift in how homelessness is perceived. He emphasized the need to think creatively and break traditional barriers to addressing the issue
