This Government is committed to tackling homelessness across all areas of Wales and is investing over £20 million this year alone.

Social housing in Wales is built to a standard to ensure accessibility for disabled people. In addition, we are investing in new specialist housing through the integrated care fund, and we provide a range of grant programmes to enable the adaptation of existing social housing to meet disabled tenants’ needs.
