In July 2014, the Foundation, alongside True Colours Trust, launched Pallative Care Pilot, a programme to test methods for supporting families with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. Later that year, the Foundation established the Full Effect project alongside St. Ann's, to help young and adolescent children find support to avoid the increase of youth violence. The project provided after-school programmes for 250 children per week, and piloted an anti-knife crime resource in several primary schools across Nottingham.<ref>{{cite web\|title=The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, 2015-16 Annual Review\|date=31 August 2016\|archive-date=11 October 2023\|url=https://www.slideshare.net/foundation2012/the-royal-foundation-of-the-duke-and-duchess-of-cambridge-and-prince-harry\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231011043218/https://www.slideshare.net/foundation2012/the-royal-foundation-of-the-duke-and-duchess-of-cambridge-and-prince-harry\|access-date=27 October 2020\|url-status=live}}</ref> In May 2016, Prince William created the Taskforce on the Prevention of Cyberbullying, recruiting industry partners to develop a response to the online bullying of young people.<ref>{{cite news \|last=Reed\|first=Anika \|title=Prince William and Duchess Kate tackle cyberbullying: It's a 'very real concern' \|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2018/11/15/prince-william-duchess-kate-tackle-cyberbullying-during-bbc-visit/2013165002/\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231011043218/https://www.slideshare.net/foundation2012/the-royal-foundation-of-the-duke-and-duchess-of-cambridge-and-prince-harry\|archive-date=11 October 2023\|access-date=26 October 2020\|work=USA Today\|url-status=live}}</ref> In November 2017, the Prince launched the Stop Speak Support Campaign, designed from the research by the Taskforce on the Prevention of Cyberbullying, to help young people advocate against online bullying.<ref>{{cite news\|title=Stop, Speak, Support \|url=https://www.bbc.com/ownit/dont-panic/stop-speak-support\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220816011708/https://www.bbc.com/ownit/dont-panic/stop-speak-support\|work=BBC News\|archive-date=16 August 2022\|access-date=12 December 2020\|url-status=live}}</ref> The Foundation is the culmination of The Princes’ charitable lives so far.

The initiative aims to tackle homelessness in six pilot locations across the UK within five years with an initial £500,000 seed funding allocated for each area by the Royal Foundation. The locations are [[Lambeth]], [[Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole]], [[Newport, Wales\|Newport]], [[Northern Ireland]], [[Aberdeen]], and [[Sheffield]]. The programme is aimed at providing permanent homes, rather than temporary accommodation, for the people in need and will also help local coalitions working on the issue by giving them access to experts and financial backers. A local leader will be appointed in each area, who will oversee the development of the project and bring together local authorities, prisons, schools, and housing associations. A unique plan will be developed in each area with help from 16 charities, landowners, local housing associations, and major retailers.<ref name="Homewards">{{cite news\|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2023/06/26/prince-of-wales-launch-homewards-end-homelessness/\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230625230951/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2023/06/26/prince-of-wales-launch-homewards-end-homelessness/\|title=Prince William says his life's work will be to end homelessness\|work=The Telegraph\|first=Victoria\|last=Ward\|date=26 June 2023\|archive-date=25 June 2023\|access-date=26 June 2023\|url-status=live}}</ref> In February 2024, William, in partnership with Cornish charity St Petrocs, announced plans for building 24 homes on Duchy of Cornwall land in [[Nansledan]] to provide temporary accommodation for people experiencing homelessness in the area.<ref name="DoC-24">{{cite news\|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cornwall-68330944\|title=Nansledan: Prince William to build homes for homeless on Duchy land\|work=BBC News\|first=Brodie\|last=Owen\|date=18 February 2024\|access-date=18 February 2024\|archive-date=19 February 2024\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240219000513/https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cornwall-68330944\|url-status=live}}</ref> Future plans include building more than 400 social rented homes and a further 475 affordable dwellings in [[South East Faversham]].<ref name="DoC-24"/> In March 2024, Homewards Activator Homebase pledged £1 million to support the Homewards initiative in Sheffield and local landlords committed to provide an initial thirty-one homes for individuals prone to homelessness.
