What steps is the Welsh Government taking to provide more affordable housing in North Wales?

Atebwyd gan Minister for Climate Change
Welsh Government is committed to providing more social housing across the whole of Wales, as signalled by our Programme for Government commitment to deliver 20,000 new low-carbon homes for rent in the social sector.
From our central Estimates of Housing Need, we know that for North Wales specifically, 1,200 additional housing units are required annually for the first 5-year period (2019/20-2023/24). 47% of this estimated need is for market housing and 53% for affordable housing (intermediate rent or social).
We are investing a record £250m through our Social Housing Grant for 2021/22. This is almost double our budget for last year. The North Wales region has been allocated £50.4m, more than double the £24.9m North Wales received in 2020/21, contributing towards the delivery of around 1000 much needed homes.
