The Welsh Conservatives have expressed concern as the latest homelessness figures show an increase in both rough sleeping and the number of individuals placed in temporary accommodation.
Commenting, Welsh Conservative Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Housing & Local Government, Joel James MS, said:
Labour has failed to get a grip on homelessness in Wales for more than two decades. With the number of rough sleeping rising as well as those placed in temporary accommodation, it is clear that Labour's current plans are simply not working.
Successive Labour Ministers have dismissed all warnings and ignored repeated advice. Their own policies, such as their Renting Homes Wales Act, are making the situation worse.
Beyond these statistics lies a very real human cost that cannot be ignored. The Welsh Government must adopt more effective and sustainable approaches that ensure long-term stability and support for affected individuals and families.
