If the question is about stretching the multi-line text to full width (text must touch left and right sides of the block), you can use platform renderer. See this reply.

Instead of using a label. I used a HtmlWebViewSource.

An example is below:

XAML:

 <StackLayout x:Name="webViewLayout"
    HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
    VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
    <!-- view codebehind for WebView for overview text -->
 </StackLayout>

Code Behind of XAML (viewModel.Model.Content = strText in your case):

var browser = new WebView();
browser.HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand;
browser.VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand;

var source = new HtmlWebViewSource();
var text = "<html>" +
        "<body  style=\"text-align: justify;\">" +
        String.Format("<p>{0}</p>", viewModel.Model.Content) +
        "</body>" +
        "</html>";
source.Html = text ;
browser.Source = source;
webViewLayout.Children.Add(browser);
