UK Royal Efforts to Combat Homelessness



Learn about Prince William's commitment to ending homelessness through his innovative social housing project in Cornwall.     

Prince William has announced a new initiative to address homelessness by building social homes for those in need. The future king revealed plans to construct 24 homes on Duchy of Cornwall land in Nansledan, Cornwall, providing housing and wraparound support for homeless individuals. This project is part of William's larger effort to combat homelessness through the Homewards program, which he launched last year in partnership with The Big Issue.


UK Royal Efforts to Combat Homelessness

According to professor Peter Mackie, a member of the Homewards National Expert Panel, the lack of affordable housing is a key factor contributing to homelessness in the UK. The project aims to provide high-quality temporary accommodation that offers dignity and a clear pathway to permanent housing. By collaborating with organizations like St Petrocs, the Duchy of Cornwall hopes to create a model that can be replicated and inspire innovation nationwide.

In Cornwall, the rise of short-term lets has exacerbated the housing shortage, prompting the government to announce stricter regulations on such properties. Prince William's approach involves a multi-sectoral partnership to develop new housing options with comprehensive support services. Residents will not only receive housing but also training, employment assistance, and help finding permanent accommodation.

The housing project in Nansledan is set to begin in September 2024, with the first homes expected to be completed by autumn 2025. The impact of this initiative will be evaluated by the Homewards program and shared with other coalitions across the UK. Additionally, the Duchy of Cornwall plans to increase affordable housing in Nansledan and other developments to address the growing demand for social and private rented properties.

The move has garnered praise from homelessness charity Centrepoint, where Prince William serves as a patron. The organization highlights the importance of providing clear pathways to employment and community integration for individuals experiencing homelessness. By taking proactive steps to address the housing crisis, Prince William's initiative aims to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need.

Prince William's commitment to ending homelessness through the construction of social homes demonstrates a proactive approach to addressing a pressing social issue. By providing not just housing but also comprehensive support services, this initiative has the potential to create lasting change in the lives of homeless individuals.
