Prince William, heir to the British throne, has launched the ambitious Homewards project that he presented eight months ago. The first action will be to build 24 houses, which will be located on the lot that the royals own in Cornwall, a county located in the southwestern tip of England.
These new houses will be within the dukedom that Edward III established in 1337 for his son Prince Edward. The lot is said to encompass 129,604 acres. When Prince William launched the Homewards project, he said: “It is a big task, but I firmly believe that, by working together, it is possible to make homelessness rare, brief and unrepeatable.”
At the moment it is known that construction will begin this year and its completion is scheduled for the fall of 2025. In total $4 million dollars will be invested for its construction.
In addition to Prince William, this first part of the project in Cornwall will be carried out in partnership with St Petrocs, a charity that has worked with homeless people in the area for years.
It is said that the prince’s team will be made up of designers and other experts to achieve the best result.
It must be remembered that at the beginning of 2023, King Charles III offered three of the royal residences as warm benches for those in need. Those residences were Mey Castle, Dumfries House and The Orchard Room.
