We’re joining organisations across the housing sector to call on all party leaders to make action on homes, housing insecurity and homelessness a priority this Senedd term.

Check out our joint letter here: https://t.co/skH4XC8OEX

[Shelter Cymru @ShelterCymru]

Rydym yn ymuno â sefydliadau ar draws y sector tai i alw ar arweinwyr pob plaid i wneud cartrefi, ansicrwydd tai a digartrefedd yn flaenoriaeth yn ystod tymor y Senedd hwn.

Llongyfarchiadau i @siangwenfelin ar ddod yn Ysgrifennydd Cabinet newydd dros Lywodraeth Leol, Tai a Chynllunio.

Gyda Chymru wedi'i dal mewn argyfwng tai, nid yw'r rôl hon erioed wedi bod yn bwysicach, ac mae Shelter Cymru yma i weithio gyda chi i gyflawni'r newid sydd ei angen.

[Shelter Cymru @ShelterCymru]

Congratulations to @siangwenfelin on becoming the new Cabinet Secretary for Local Government, Housing and Planning .

With Wales trapped in a housing emergency this role has never been more important, and Shelter Cymru is here to work with you on delivering the change needed.

[Shelter Cymru @ShelterCymru]

Congratulations to @RhunapIorwerth on becoming First Minister of Wales. We look forward to working with you to tackle the housing emergency so that everyone in Wales has access to a safe, secure and genuinely affordable home.

🎧 LISTEN: Our Head of Campaigns Robin White talking to BBC Radio Wales this morning about our new research into just how unaffordable privately renting is in Wales today.

[Robin White @robin_white13]

Incredibly proud of the @ShelterCymru team for putting this one together. A real coming together of lived experience and data to make a powerful point. Over to the next Welsh Government now to commit to some solutions (we are happy to lend a hand)

[Shelter Cymru @ShelterCymru]

Today we were pleased to welcome Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local government @JBryantWales to our new office in Swansea to spend some time with our advisers and hear more about our vital work to tackle the housing emergency in Wales.

[Robin White @robin_white13]

Really important topic. The Welsh Government cannot realise it's ambitions on homelessness unless the UK Government a) stops putting up barriers and b) supports more social housing.

Vital Welsh MPs hear and carry that message.

[Shelter Cymru @ShelterCymru]

Mae landlordiaid fel arfer yn cael gorchymyn meddiant gan y llys cyn y gallwch gael eich troi allan. Yn aml, ceir gwrandawiad llys i’r barnwr benderfynu a ddylid gwneud gorchymyn mediant.

Byddych yn siŵr o’ch hawliau os wnaiff hyn ddigwydd i chi: https://t.co/imKq6wsmkF

Most landlords have to get a possession order from the court before you can be evicted. There is often a court hearing to help the judge decide whether or not a possession order should be made.

Make sure you know your rights if this happens to you: https://t.co/imKq6wsmkF

[Ruth Power @RuthPower10]

After the welcome passing of the HASHA Bill yesterday, today marks a shift in focus. We must now seize the opportunity it represents and turn its ambitions into better housing futures for people across Wales.

[Shelter Cymru @ShelterCymru]

We welcome the passing of the Homelessness and Social Housing Allocations Bill - a landmark moment which has the potential to transform how #Wales prevents and tackles #homelessness.

[Shelter Cymru @ShelterCymru]

Shelter Cymru strongly believes that a legal right to adequate housing would drive the changes we need to see in our housing system so that we can build a better future for this and future generations. Read more on our blog: https://t.co/OIGJJ4tiP9

We've held our last @ShelterCymru staff meeting of 2025 & thanked our colleagues - without whom we couldn't help 12k+ households p.a. or advocate for a better housing future for people across Wales.
This is our Winter Appeal - pivotal to our work.

[Shelter Cymru @ShelterCymru]

This Christmas in Wales, one in every 210 children will be waking up homeless. It's a heartbreaking statistic. It doesn't have to be this way. Home is everything. Please help us protect it. Give the gift of home this winter: https://t.co/A3klkGvOPA

"The right to adequate housing is a right for everyone to live in security, peace and dignity." In this episode of the podcast, we talk to Chief Executive @RuthPower10 about the right to home and Fundraising Officer Fran Hourihan about the Winter Appeal: https://t.co/NmptYSSm7L

[Steve Witherden MP @switherdenMP]

Ahead of the Budget, I am supporting @ShelterCymru's calls to reconnect Local Housing Allowance uprating with current rental data, to stop disability related benefits being classed as income available for rent, and to restore LHA to the 50th percentile.

Important housing day in Wales as the Welsh Government has published the final set of affordable housing supply statistics we will see before the next Senedd Election.

Lots of important stuff in there as well so a few headlines... 🧵

“We can’t ask people to wait for a generation to get the home they need now." Shelter Cymru submitted Freedom of Information requests to local authorities across Wales, which revealed that 94,000 households are stuck on social home waiting lists. Blog: https://t.co/aO3sshyOCQ

This old man and his flat feet will be attempting the @CardiffHalf next weekend to raise money for @ShelterCymru and the fight against #homelessness and poor housing.
