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.

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: shorturl.at/EUtU8

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: shorturl.at/EUtU8

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 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: sheltercymru.org.uk/the-right-to-h…

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.

"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: bit.ly/4pg4EJu

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. edm.parliament.uk/early-day-moti…
