Question
What support is the Welsh Government providing to tenants who have fallen into rental arrears?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Climate Change
In support of our long-term ambition to end homelessness we are investing over £205m in homelessness prevention and housing support services this year alone. Of this, £6m is provided to local authorities for a Discretionary Homelessness Prevention Fund, which can be used flexibly to prevent homelessness or quickly relieve it, including helping tenants with rent arrears, rent guarantees and other household bills.
Welsh Government has also put in place a range of support measures which are available to households across Wales to help with the cost-of-living crisis, details of which can be found here: Get help with the cost of living | GOV.WALES
