Prince William and the Duchy of Cornwall have announced the estate's first innovative housing project to help tackle homelessness in Nansledan, Newquay.
According to a statement issued by the Duchy of Cornwall, the project will be run alongside Cornish charity St Petrocs and will provide 24 fully supported homes for local homeless people.

The land for the homes will be provided by the Duchy of Cornwall, which will also use its design and development management expertise to guide the delivery of the overall project.
Development will begin in September 2024 and the first homes will be completed in autumn 2025.
The first phase will focus on creating high-quality temporary accommodation that feels like home, with a clear path to a permanent home as accommodation becomes available.
Royal expert Richard Palmer took to X, formerly Twitter, and said: “William wants to eradicate homelessness in the UK. He won't do it alone, but by showcasing these projects, highlighting the problem and working with charities, the public and private sector, he hopes to push it further up the agenda and create a consensus to put an end to it.”
