Shelter Cymru strongly believes that a legal right to adequate housing would drive the changes we need to see in our housing system so that we can build a better future for this and future generations. Read more on our blog: sheltercymru.org.uk/the-right-to-home

Mae Shelter Cymru yn credu yn gryf y byddai hawl gyfreithiol i dai digonol yn sbarduno’r newidiadau y mae angen i ni eu gweld yn ein system dai fel y gallwn adeiladu dyfodol gwell i’r genhedlaeth hon a chenedlaethau’r dyfodol. Darllenwch fwy ar ein blog: sheltercymru.org.uk/the-right-to-home

This Christmas in Wales, one in every 210 children will be waking up homeless. It's a heartbreaking statistic. It doesn't have to be this way. Home is everything. Please help us protect it. Give the gift of home this winter: youtu.be/iz_dly10YiY?...

Responding to today's announcement, Robin White, Head of Campaigns at Shelter Cymru, said:
"The Chancellor's announcement that the two-child limit will be scrapped is hugely welcome, and will be a positive step towards tackling child poverty in Wales. However, the decision not to increase local housing allowance is one that will undermine efforts to end the housing emergency here in Wales. "Recent research from Shelter Cymru has shown that right now there are just 14 homes in Wales that are available and affordable to individuals or families that rely on local housing allowance to cover the cost of renting in the private sector. At a time when rents are rising faster in Wales than anywhere else in Britain the continued failure to ensure that the true cost of renting is reflected in this policy is one that will only push more families into homelessness and undermine progressive policy changes being delivered by the Welsh Government.

Yn ymateb i'r cyhoeddiad heddiw, dwedodd Robin White, Pennaeth Ymgyrchoedd Shelter Cymru:
"Rydym yn croesawu cyhoeddiad y Canghellor y bydd y cyfyngiad dau blentyn yn cael ei ddileu, a bydd hyn yn gam positif tuag at fynd i’r afael â thlodi plant yng Nghymru. Er hynny, mae'r penderfyniad i beidio â chynyddu Lwfans Tai Lleol yn un fydd yn tanseilio ymdrechion i roi terfyn ar yr argyfwng tai yma yng Nghymru. "Mae ymchwil diweddar gan Shelter Cymru wedi dangos, ar hyn o bryd, mai dim ond 14 o gartrefi yng Nghymru sydd ar gael ac yn fforddiadwy i deuluoedd ac unigolion sydd yn dibynnu ar Lwfans Tai Lleol i dalu cost y rhent yn y sector preifat. Mewn cyfnod pan fod rhenti yn codi yn gyflymach yng Nghymru nag yn unrhyw ran arall ym Mhrydain, mae'r methiant cyfredol i sicrhau bod y gost go iawn o rent yn cael ei hadlewyrchu yn y polisi hwn yn un a fydd dim ond yn gwthio mwy o deuluoedd i mewn i ddigartrefedd ac yn tanseilio newidiadau polisi cynyddol sydd yn cael eu cyflawni gan Lywodraeth Cymru."

14!

Only 14 homes in #Wales are affordable within local housing allowance. The UK goverment can change this and increase that number.

We know having an affordable place to call home gives people the foundation they need to build their life.
