What is the Welsh Government doing to ensure the safety of rough sleepers?
Ateb
Atebwyd gan Deputy Minister for Climate Change
No-one should be forced to sleep rough in Wales, which is why on 18 October 2022 we took through regulations to create an 11th category of Priority Need for those who are ‘street homeless’, to ensure the continuation of our ‘no-one left out’ approach ahead of wider legislative reform.
Welsh Government continues to work closely with local authorities to ensure accommodation and support is provided for everyone who needs it. Rough sleeping is a complex issue and highlights the importance of person-centred assertive outreach, not only to support people into accommodation, but to help them sustain and thrive in accommodation.
