According to the Royal Foundation, which is owned by William and his wife Kate, Homewards will initially last for five years and aims to show that it is possible to end homelessness once and for all. A start-up funding of 500,000 pounds (over 580,000 euros) is planned so that the projects do not fail immediately because of money.

In addition to donations, the project relies on the collaboration of local partners, committed residents, organizations and businesses to develop a program tailored to local needs and local expertise.
