Thank you. As Cymorth Cymru now state, homelessness and housing support providers and local authority commissioners have been left devastated by the lack of an increase in the housing support grant, ninety-three per cent of service providers are extremely or very concerned about their ability to continue delivering services, and services will need to be cut if there’s no increase in the housing support grant.

My question for the Welsh Government is therefore why are you still pursuing these false economies, which see key early intervention and prevention services delivered by the voluntary sector starved of funding, adding millions to the cost pressure on statutory services, rather than learning from this, working with the sector truly co-productively to spend the money better, deliver more and actually save more from the Welsh Government’s budget, too. Of course, whenever life doesn’t fit their comfortable theories, it isn’t the theories they doubt, it’s real life, or blaming somebody else. What they are doing by introducing these cuts is regressive, irresponsible and dangerous.
