Prince William has won hearts with his people-friendly initiatives, expediting his efforts to ease suffering of the countrymen with his new plans.
William' Homewards programme has unveiled plans for a new Innovative Housing Project (IHP) in Lambeth to support young people at risk of homelessness.
The scheme will be delivered in partnership with Homewards Activator, the Duchy of Cornwall, sector partner Centrepoint, of which heir to the British throne Prince William is Patron, and with the support of Homewards Coalition member Lambeth Council.
The program has committed to launching IHPs across each of its six flagship locations. Lambeth is the third to be announced, following Aberdeen and Sheffield.
The Prince of Wales is known for his charitable work and initiatives. He's involved in various causes, including mental health, conservation and supporting vulnerable communities.
King Charles III's eldest son has seemingly decided to serve his life for his people as he misses no opportunity to protect the future of the nation.
The programme was also involved in designing the Duchy of Cornwall’s first housing project to address homelessness in Nansledan, which is already under construction.
The IHPs aim to explore new ways of making more homes available at scale for those facing homelessness. The project, located at 60 Sancroft Street, will transform a Duchy of Cornwall-owned property into 16 independent living flats for local people aged 18 to 25.
Homewards will help residents identify work opportunities that can support long-term tenancies.
Sam Kirkness, Executive Director for Development at the Duchy of Cornwall, said: “We are delighted to be reinvesting in Kennington and working with Homewards and Centrepoint on this innovative housing project, reflecting a shared vision to end homelessness in Lambeth, London and beyond.
Seyi Obakin OBE, Chief Executive of Centrepoint, said: “They are committed to ending youth homelessness in the UK. We are pleased to work in partnership with Homewards, the Duchy of Cornwall, and Lambeth Council.
Geeta Nanda OBE, Homewards National Expert Panellist, said: "The partnership between Homewards, Centrepoint and the Duchy of Cornwall, with support from Lambeth Council, shows the power of collaboration from across the public, private and voluntary sectors in action. By working together, we can demonstrate it’s possible to end homelessness in our communities.”
Cllr Danny Adilypour, Deputy Leader of Lambeth Council and Cabinet Member for Housing, Investment and New Homes, said: "I am really pleased Lambeth Council has supported the planning application for this project brought forward by The Royal Foundation’s Homewards programme."
Prince William is determined to creating a sustainable and scalable model that can be used to prevent homelessness across the country.
