Prince William says 'dial shifting' on homelessness battle as he marks milestone
Prince Willian is marking the two year anniversary of his ambitious Homewards programme - the Prince of Wales set up the charity to develop a blueprint for eradicating homelessness in all its forms Prince William has urged those working towards ending homelessness to "keep going", as he marked the two year anniversary of his ambitious Homewards programme. The Prince of Wales set up the charity to develop a blueprint for eradicating homelessness in all its forms, "making it rare, brief and unrepeated". Six locations were chosen - Newport in south Wales, Lambeth in south London, Northern Ireland, Aberdeen, Sheffield and the three neighbouring Dorset towns of Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch - with the aim of delivering bespoke solutions to the homelessness issues in each area. Today William said the campaign was starting to 'shift the dial' and had already achieved a 'lasting impact'. Marking Homewards' second anniversary, the heir to the throne said the programme was now in "delivery mode". Outlining his optimism that it would lead to long-term change in a letter thanking Homewards' local coalitions, he added: 'There are now people who are no longer experiencing homelessness thanks to your tremendous efforts." More than 100 initiatives are in place across six locations around the UK, and some 300 homes - a mixture of empty accommodation, private rentals and new builds - are forecast to be delivered through Homewards' Innovative Housing Projects. The first residents moved into flats in Aberdeen in March after Homewards brought together a local housing association, high street retailers and others to provide and furnish the property, and the first tenants in Sheffield are moving in this week. Two years in, the project has also launched a new early intervention initiative in schools to identify young people most at risk of homelessness. The prince will hear how the Upstream scheme is working when he travels to Meadowhead Secondary School in Sheffield on Tuesday. In February, William unveiled a new partnership with high street bank Lloyds Banking Group, which has made £50 million available to organisations tackling homelessness. Nearly £3 million has also been secured for Homewards locations from partners and coalition members. In the letter, William wrote: "I am immensely proud to say that your collective effort has already allowed us to achieve lasting impact. "After a year of convening, our second year has seen Homewards shift into delivery mode." He added: "Together, we are demonstrating tangible impact. I know this is a mammoth challenge and change won't come overnight, but over the past year we've started to shift the dial and there are now people who are no longer experiencing homelessness thanks to your tremendous efforts." He described how creating long-term change was "complex and unpredictable", adding: "But I am confident we can lead and inspire understanding, empathy and optimism that homelessness can be ended." The prince ended his letter by signing it in his own handwriting: "Keep going! William". The Upstream school survey pilot is set to be rolled out to two other schools in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, later this year. The preventative approach, which seeks to tackle the root causes of homelessness and provide support to young people and their families at the earliest opportunity, is modelled on the successful Geelong Project in Australia, which saw a 40% reduction in youth homelessness and a 20% reduction in the number of young people leaving school early. Homewards has also created action plans to focus efforts on the most at-risk groups in each location, such as single people and under-25s in Aberdeen, lone parents in temporary accommodation in Lambeth and families and women facing multiple disadvantages in Newport. Liz Laurence, Homewards' programme director, said: "We're proud to say, as we head into our third year, that Homewards is the broadest collective effort working to prevent homelessness across the UK." Ms Laurence added: "We set out with a mission to demonstrate that together it's possible to end homelessness, and I think we are really confident about where we are... We are starting really to see a difference on the ground." The five-year campaign is a major long-term focus for William, who has told how visiting shelters with his late mother Diana, Princess of Wales when he was a child left a deep and lasting impression and inspired his work. Polly Neate, former chief executive of Shelter and now an independent social policy commentator, said: "In our wider culture, as a country, we see homelessness as something that is inevitable, that we don't really understand, that we feel powerless about doing anything about. "What Prince William and Homewards are doing, if you want to put it in a nutshell, is tackling that culture straight on and saying 'This is not inevitable. This is preventable'."

OverDrive and Clarivate to Preview Roadmap of Deep Integration for Libby, Kanopy, and Sora with Vega Discover
Technical collaboration will streamline workflows, saving library staff time, enhancing collection development, and supporting data-driven decision-making. CLEVELAND, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As libraries navigate ongoing budget and staff challenges, OverDrive and Innovative, part of Clarivate, will preview a joint strategy for library leaders at the ALA Annual Conference (June 26 – 30, Booth #1629). The goal of these new developments will leverage each company's market leading technologies and solutions for how readers and library staff interact with the library's vast catalog of materials, both in print and digital formats. These future innovations are expected to strengthen libraries' programming, optimize use of physical spaces and resources, and increase the overall value of library services for their communities. By joining forces to deliver a bold new integration roadmap—centered on Libby, Kanopy, and Vega LX—this integration will streamline workflows, reduce costs, and enhance engagement. OverDrive and Innovative from Clarivate will be hosting a series of library partner meetings to seek input and prioritization for deeper integrations with the OverDrive Advisory Group and at the upcoming Digipalooza 2025 partner roundtable meetings. 'As libraries face new challenges, this relationship delivers a seamless integration that streamlines staff workflows and enhances the patron experience across both digital and physical collections. By combining the strengths of Innovative from Clarivate and OverDrive, we empower libraries to better engage their communities and make data-driven decisions. We look forward to continue working closely with our library partners to shape the future of library services together,' says Yariv Kursh, Senior Vice President and GM at Clarivate. 'It's not just about syncing products; it's about building a better future for libraries based on all users of library content and services. We're developing next-level online and mobile experiences designed to attract new users and keep patrons engaged, encouraging them to continue returning to the library, online or in-person at their central or branch libraries,' says Claudia Weissman, VP of Global Libraries & Education. 'We're creating a more seamless experience regardless of interests, language, or preferences for accessing and enjoying the content and programs libraries offer. New and improved data reports and insights will combine the transactional data sets from the ILS and all OverDrive content usage.' Benefits to the Library and all Users Smarter Discovery: Vega LX libraries will benefit from deep linking to all OverDrive-supplied content including Libby eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, comics and digital media, as well as Kanopy movies, documentaries and TV shows. This integration will support all libraries using Vega LX regardless of the underlying ILS including Polaris, Symphony, and Sierra. Better Engagement: Deep integration with Vega Program will allow Libby and Kanopy users to discover and connect with their local libraries through a wide range of events and programs. These opportunities will be surfaced within Libby bookshelves or made discoverable in Kanopy when patrons view related content. Clearer Insights: A new analytics dashboard will consolidate insights from Vega Reports and OverDrive Marketplace, giving staff a clearer understanding of what's working and where to focus next. OverDrive and Clarivate are committed to working openly with library partners around the world. More updates will be shared later this year, with new tools and benefits rolling out in 2026. This is a non-exclusive initiative—new tools will be available to all approved OverDrive partners. To help libraries drive acquisition of new patrons, OverDrive will waive all Instant Digital Card (IDC) fees now through the end of the year to help libraries grow their reach. This initiative builds on the success of the IDC program, which has already connected 2.5 million U.S. users to their local public libraries.

SAN DIEGO – Samsara announced its 2025 North America Customer Advisory Board on Monday as the company kicks off its Samsara Beyond event. The 2025 North America Customer Advisory Board includes leaders from over 30 major organizations across various industries, such as Republic Services, Performance Food Group, Pike, DHL Supply Chain, and XPO. Members provide direct feedback that helps shape Samsara's product roadmap, including innovations like Recognition, which uses AI insights to celebrate safe driving, and Asset Tag, which helps customers track equipment. 'Being on Samsara's Customer Advisory Board has been incredibly valuable because we get to collaborate with other industry leaders and quickly see the results of our product feedback,' said James Banner, Senior Vice President of Administration and Safety at Pike. 'It's a unique opportunity to shape products that transform the way we operate.' Banner listed the Asset Tag as a prime example. Pike advised Samsara on use cases and the product has now reduced theft and improved efficiency for Pike and many others. 'With all the changes AI is bringing to physical operations, the partnership between industry leaders and technology innovators has never been more important,' said Kiren Sekar, Chief Product Officer at Samsara. 'Our advisory board isn't just about adapting to change, but actively shaping the future of this industry and making a lasting impact, together.' Samsara's 2025 North America Advisory Board news comes on the heels of its Connected Operations Awards announcement, which highlights stories of its AI-powered platform enabling transformative results with customers across safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Samsara attributes the results its platform supports to its strong customer feedback loop and focus on customer success. This year's awards program saw a notable increase in applications, with enterprise submissions rising by 73% in the United States, 250% in Canada, 133% in Mexico, and 183% in Europe. Winners demonstrated measurable operational transformations across industries, from transportation and logistics to government and education. Several reported substantial financial and operational gains. Maxim Crane Works, which won the Most Innovative Workforce award, saved over $13 million in maintenance costs by shifting to proactive maintenance strategies. Maxim Crane Works is a leading crane rental company in the U.S. with over 2,000 vehicles spread across over 50 locations, serving construction industries like petrochemical, oil and gas, commercial high rise, and freeway expansion. The company reduced its insurance premiums by exonerating drivers from not-at-fault accidents and false claims with dash cam footage. Mohawk Industries, winner of the Excellence in Systems Efficiency award, closed gaps in planned versus actual routing, saving over $7.75 million annually by reducing wasted mileage by 25%. Mohawk Industries is the largest flooring manufacturer in the world, with 800+ tractors and 2,500+ trailers in its fleet. Use of the Samsara AI Dash Cams also led to a 13% reduction in accidents. Mexicana Logistics, winner of the Excellence in Physical Security award, saw an 80% reduction in emergency detection times and a 97% reduction in saddle thefts. The Baja California-based company transports over 150,000 Class 8 trucks and 225,000 light vehicles annually. Notably, it successfully recovered 12 units and three drivers without damage from a single trip. Republic Services, recipient of the Digital Transformation of the Year award, integrated 11 concurrent IT workstreams with Samsara after rolling out AI Dash Cams and Fleet Telematics fleet-wide for the first time in company history. Republic Services is one of the largest environmental service companies in North America, with over 42,000 employees and 18,000 trucks. 'Samsara has been a game-changer for our operations,' said Brett Rogers, VP Operations Technology at Republic Services. 'Their platform has enabled us to make significant strides in safety and efficiency, and transformed the way we manage our assets and workforce.' Other North American honorees included Alto Experience (Most Sustainable Operations) and Quality Custom Distribution (Safest Operator), among others. European winners included companies like Delifresh (Excellence in Driver Engagement), RubanBleu (Most Sustainable Operations), Vp Brandon Hire Station (Safest Operator), and OCU Group Limited (Industry Innovator). The North America Customer Advisory Board is scheduled to meet today, Monday, June 23, at Samsara Beyond.
