Land in south London owned by Prince William will be turned into new homes for young people who have experienced homelessness. The Duchy of Cornwall owns 60 Sancroft Street in Vauxhall, which be renovated into 16 affordable rentals for 18–25-year-olds, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

The first homes will be delivered by the end of 2026 and will be managed by charity Centrepoint. Rents will be set at one-third of a tenant’s gross earnings, with 12 of the 16 tenants required to be in full-time employment. The remaining four will be supported to find jobs by youth homelessness charity Centrepoint, who will manage the site, and the council.

Michelle Donovan, head of independent living at Centrepoint, said the scheme will “allow [young people] to hold down a job, end their reliance upon benefits, and escape from homelessness for good.”

The Royal Foundation’s Homewards programme, aims to end homelessness with a five-year campaign launched in 2023. Its Innovative Housing Projects span six locations across the UK, including this plan in Lambeth.
