The move to establish social housing on Duchy land is “front of mind” for William, who it is understood will “start small” with the plan and scale it up if it proves viable.
The Prince of Wales is to use his own land for public housing, as he prepares to launch a major new project to end homelessness, 30 years after being taken to visit a shelter as a child by his mother, Diana.
William gave his first-ever newspaper interview to set out his vision for tackling homelessness with an ambitious five-year, nationwide project from his Royal Foundation which he will announce later in June.The prince is particularly concerned about the rise in “hidden” youth homelessness, such as sofa surfing, which is “way too high,” and said he felt that too often, “people don’t even look at” the homeless.
Prince William visited a shelter with his mother, Princess Diana, as a child. He is pictured here talking to a homeless youth in 2006.He also called on the public to set aside “preconceived ideas” and “judgments” about the homeless and to “acknowledge that there is somebody there and they’re having a tough time.”
He said: “When is the right time to bring George or Charlotte or Louis to a homeless organization? I think when I can balance it with their schooling, they will definitely be exposed to it. On the school run, we talk about what we see. When we were in London, driving backwards and forwards, we regularly used to see people sitting outside of supermarkets and we’d talk about it.
