The Housing Support Grant is critical to ending homelessness The HSG funds the vast majority of homelessness and housing-related support services in Wales. It is absolutely critical to preventing and alleviating homelessness in Wales. #HousingMattersWales Huggard

A freeze in the funding means real-term cuts, There is a genuine risk of service collapse if there is no increase in Housing Support Grant funding. We are faced with a Homelessness crisis with numbers growing exponentially and fewer resources. Huggard

The Housing Support Grant is critical to ending #homelessness
We are calling on the Welsh Government to increase the Housing Support Grant in 2024/25!

#HousingMattersWales

The Draft Budget for 2023/24 shows no increase to the Housing Support Grant, despite huge pressure on homelessness services.
Supported housing like Oak House in Cardiff relies on it. We urge Welsh Government to reconsider.

Great to host Mike & Bobbie Jo at the YMCA to continue our discussions on #UnpaidCarers & #YoungCarers support across Cardiff & the Vale of Glamorgan. Good opportunity also to pop in and see progress on our 18 new homes @ Bedford Place project

I support Cymorth Cymru’s day of action today.

The reality for homelessness services in Wales is bleak. We know that Welsh Government have impossible decisions to make – but if the Housing Support Grant is cut, many services will simply have to close. #HousingMattersWales .

The Welsh Government has today announced that the Housing Support Grant will receive a total uplift of £13 million in 2024/25 compared to 2023/24.

Join us in urging the Welsh Government to increase the Housing Support Grant in their final budget. Hear from Neil as he shares his remarkable journey and the positive impact our service has had on him. bit.ly/412WlWd

I urge the Welsh Government to protect the Housing Support Grant as it ensures access to secure housing for all. Without this support, there are increased mental distress among individuals which could strain others budgets and the NHS. #HousingMattersWales

We believe everyone should have a place they are proud to call home. That's why we're backing Community Housing Cymru Cymorth Cymru Day of Action and calling for an increase in the Housing Support Grant for 2024/25 #HousingMattersWales

Shocking reality: 75% of homelessness & housing support services run at a deficit. It's a critical time to prioritise funding for services in this sector. Homelessness affects us all; let's ensure support is adequately funded to create lasting change. #HousingMattersWales

We support Cymorth Cymru's Day of Action Today

📈The pressure on the homelessness and housing support system has never been greater and are in desperate need of additional funding!

📣We are calling for an increase in the Housing Support Grant for 2024/25

#HousingMattersWales

As housing support services face greater demand and increasingly complex support needs, we support calls led by Cymorth Cymru and Community Housing Cymru on its #HousingMattersWales Day of Action to increase to the Housing Support Grant in the draft budget later this month.

We're supporting Cymorth Cymru and Community Housing Cymru #HousingMattersWales campaign and asking for the Llywodraeth Cymru Welsh Government to consider the increasing the Housing Support Grant. #HomelessnessWales

We are now focused on working with the Welsh Government and local authorities to ensure that this funding reaches homelessness and housing support services and delivers an increase in wages for these exceptional staff.

The Housing Support Grant funds many projects, including our #Citadel project, supporting people to overcome homelessness. Adequate funding isn't just crucial; it's a lifeline for stable housing solutions. #SupportHomeless #HousingMattersWales 🏠
