Gwelodd sut mae’r tîm yn cynorthwyo pobl i symud oddi ar y strydoedd ac i mewn i dai. 

Nod Tai yn Gyntaf yw cefnogi pobl y mae angen lefelau sylweddol o gymorth arnynt i ffarwelio â digartrefedd. Mae pobl sy’n derbyn cymorth yn cael cynnig lle i fyw ynghyd â chefnogaeth hirdymor, wedi’i theilwra i’w helpu i reoli tenantiaeth yn annibynnol.

Fis diwethaf, cyhoeddodd y Gweinidog fod dros £548,000 ar gael i Fyddin yr Iachawdwriaeth a Chyngor Caerdydd gydweithio ar ddau brosiect yn y brifddinas. Mae Cyngor Caerdydd yn sefydlu cynllun peilot Tai yn Gyntaf newydd ochr yn ochr â phrosiect peilot presennol Byddin yr Iachawdwriaeth er mwyn diwallu anghenion lleol. Ers dechrau prosiect Byddin yr Iachawdwriaeth, mae wyth o bobl wedi cael cymorth i reoli tenantiaeth, a diolch i’r cymorth hwn, nid oes unrhyw un o’r wyth wedi’u derbyn i adran damweiniau ac achosion brys. 

Meddai Julie James: 


> “Mae’r tîm rhagorol yma yng Nghaerdydd yn cynorthwyo pobl i fyw yn annibynnol. Fe ges i gyfle i siarad â Chris am sut mae’r dull gweithredu hwn yn ei helpu i symud ymlaen â’i fywyd. 
> 
> “Mae’r prosiect Tai yn Gyntaf yn gallu helpu pobl ddigartref sydd ag anghenion cymhleth yn aml, gan gynnwys salwch meddwl, problemau o ran camddefnyddio cyffuriau ac alcohol, iechyd corfforol gwael a dim rhwydwaith cymorth ehangach.
> 
> “Mae’r dull gweithredu hwn yn darparu cymorth hyblyg i bobl am amser amhenodol, gan ganolbwyntio ar yr hyn sydd ei angen o bosibl ar yr unigolyn i wella a byw yn annibynnol. 
> 
> “Mae’r prosiect hwn yn cynorthwyo rhai o’r bobl fwyaf agored i niwed yng Nghymru i beidio â byw ar y strydoedd. Rwy’n rhannu agwedd benderfynol pawb sy’n gysylltiedig â Byddin yr Iachawdwriaeth, awdurdodau lleol ac elusennau sy’n gweithio i fynd i’r afael â digartrefedd a gwella bywydau pobl nad oes ganddynt gartref diogel, addas. 
> 
> “Rydym yn gwybod nad yw’r dull gweithredu hwn yn addas i bawb sy’n ddigartref – mae angen tai â chymorth a llety dros dro o hyd. Fodd bynnag, gall prosiectau fel hyn yng Nghaerdydd wneud cyfraniad pwysig at gynorthwyo pobl i allu cynnal tenantiaeth, yn enwedig pobl sydd wedi bod yn cysgu ar y strydoedd ers amser hir.”

Meddai Yvonne Connolly, Rheolwr Rhanbarthol Uned Gwasanaethau Digartrefedd Byddin yr Iachawdwriaeth yng Nghymru a De Orllewin Lloegr:


> “Roedd yn bleser siarad â’r Gweinidog am y canlyniadau arloesol sydd wedi deillio o raglen Tai yn Gyntaf Caerdydd, sydd wedi helpu rhai o’r bobl fwyaf anodd eu cyrraedd a grwpiau sydd ar y cyrion yn ein prifddinas.
> 
> “Mae Tai yn Gyntaf yn fodel am oes sy’n helpu unigolion i beidio â chysgu ar y strydoedd trwy eu gwneud yn denant yn eu cartrefi eu hunain, a thrwy ddarparu cymorth dwys, pendant a hyblyg i sicrhau deiliadaeth o’r eiddo.”

Nod Prosiectau Tai yn Gyntaf yw sicrhau bod gan unigolion ddewis a rheolaeth – maent yn cael eu hannog i ymgysylltu â gwasanaethau cymorth, fel gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl neu wasanaethau camddefnyddio sylweddau, ond nid oes rhaid iddynt wneud hynny er mwyn derbyn cymorth.

There she saw how the team are supporting people to move off the streets into housing. 

Housing First is designed to support people who need significant levels of help to move away from homelessness. People receiving support are offered a place to live and then offered tailored, long term support to help enable them to manage a tenancy independently. 

Last month, the Minister announced over £548,000 for the Salvation Army and Cardiff Council for two projects to work closely in the capital. Cardiff Council are establishing a new Housing First pilot to run alongside the existing Salvation Army pilot project, meeting demand locally. Since the Salvation Army’s project began, not only have they supported eight people into tenancies, but their help has resulted in none of the eight people having been admitted to A\&E. 

Julie James said: 


> “The fantastic team here in Cardiff are supporting people to live independently. I was able to speak with Chris and hear how this approach is helping him to move forward with his life. 
> 
> “Housing First can help people who are homeless and who often have complex needs including mental illness, problems with drug and alcohol abuse, poor physical health and a lack of a wider support network. 
> 
> “This approach provides people with flexible support for as long as they need it and focuses on what that person might need to recover and live independently. 
> 
> “This project is supporting some of the most vulnerable people in Wales to move away from living on our streets. I share the determination of everyone here at the Salvation Army, across the local authorities and charities working to tackle homelessness and improve the lives of people who find themselves without a secure, suitable home. 
> 
> “We know that this not the right approach for everyone who is homeless – there is still a need for supported housing and temporary accommodation. However, projects like this one in Cardiff can play an important role in supporting people, particularly those who have been sleeping rough for a long time, to be able to sustain a tenancy.”

Yvonne Connolly, Regional Manager for The Salvation Army’s Homelessness Services Unit Wales and the South West said:


> “It was a pleasure to discuss with the Minister the ground\-breaking results that have been achieved by the Housing First Cardiff programme with some of the most marginalised and hard to reach people in our capital city.
> 
> “Housing First is a lifelong model which supports individuals out of rough sleeping by first making them a tenant in their own home and intensive, assertive and flexible support to maintain tenure of the property is offered throughout.”

Housing First Projects are designed to ensure that the individual has choice and control \- they are actively encouraged to engage with support services such as mental health or substance abuse, but they are not required to do so in return for support.
