📣 Welsh social housing tenants are now living in persistent hardship because of the cost of living crisis.

With the election just a week away, we have joined over 200 organisations to ask our political leaders: where is your urgent plan to tackle hardship? #ouressentials

⚠️ NEW DATA: @WelshGovernment funding shortfall is pushing homelessness workers into poverty

@WelshGovernment committed to the Real Living Wage at the last election - yet 67% of funded staff are still being paid under £12/hour

I’m so scared about Tuesday’s @WelshGovernment Draft Budget.
