By Max Foster and Issy Ronald, CNNLondon (CNN) — Prince William believes you can have zero homelessness and he’s using Finland as a case study. Finland’s successful homelessness policy “has been the leading example for a number of years,” Matt Downie, CEO of homeless charity Crisis told reporters. Over the next two days, William will travel to each of the six locations to formally kickstart the program. William has long used his platform to spotlight homelessness, ever since his mother, Princess Diana, first took him to homeless shelters as a child. Last year, William attempted to go undercover on the streets of London and sell The Big Issue to “experience the other side and see what it was like to be a Big Issue vendor,” he wrote in the magazine afterwards.
