Sut y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn mynd i'r afael â digartrefedd ar arfordir Y Rhyl a Phrestatyn?
As set out in our Ending Homelessness Action Plan the Welsh Government is committed to ending homelessness across all regions of Wales. This year alone, we are investing almost £220m in homelessness prevention and support services. This includes over £8m of funding through the Housing Support Grant to Denbighshire Council to prevent homelessness and support people to maintain a stable and suitable home.
We have allocated £10.2m to Denbighshire Council via the Social Housing Grant programme for 2024-25. Last year, six housing schemes were approved in the Rhyl and Prestatyn area receiving over £6.3m via the Social Housing Grant programme and over £133k via the Recycled Capital Grant.
Denbighshire Council and their RSL partners also received over £3.7m of funding from the Transitional Accommodation Capital Programme in 2023-24 to support move-on from temporary accommodation, bringing forward 36 homes, which includes 28 properties brought back into use.
A key priority in the Council’s Rapid Rehousing Transition Plan focuses on expanding activity on early intervention and prevention. This financial year, we have provided over £623k of ‘no one left out’ funding and over £129k Discretionary Homelessness Prevention funding to cover preventative measures such as offering a rent guarantee and paying for rent arrears to help people stay in their own homes.
