The funding is part of the £30m being invested this year and next year to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping. 

The investment includes:

* £240,000 to extend the Conwy and Denbighshire Housing First pilot for the 2019\-20 year
* Over £52,000 for Rhondda Cynon Taf council to extend their successful Housing First project supporting ex\-offenders
* £68,000 for the Salvation Army to run a Housing First project in Merthyr Tydfil
* Over £548,000 for 2 projects to work closely in Cardiff. Funding will be used to continue a Housing First pilot run by the Salvation Army and for Cardiff Council to establish a new Housing First pilot, meeting demand locally.

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.

Julie James, Minister for Housing and Local Government said:


> “Housing First can help people who are homeless and who often have complex needs including severe mental illness or mental health problems, problems with drug and alcohol abuse, poor physical health and a lack of a wider support network.
> 
> “Housing First is not the right approach for everyone who is homeless – there is still a need for supported housing and temporary accommodation, but it 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.”

Housing First is designed to provide flexible support for as long as it is required. It focuses on what the individual needs to recover and be able to sustain a tenancy themselves.

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.

She added:


> “The cost, in terms of health, emergency services and police budgets, of supporting people while they are on the streets far outweighs the cost of addressing their homelessness. We aim to support the most vulnerable people in Wales, and Housing First is a sound investment that can save money, as well as lives, in the long term.”

Mae'r cyllid yn rhan o'r £30m sy'n cael ei fuddsoddi eleni a'r flwyddyn nesaf i fynd i'r afael â digartrefedd a chysgu allan. 

Mae’r buddsoddiad hwn yn cynnwys:

* £240,000 i ymestyn prosiect peilot Tai yn Gyntaf Conwy a Sir Ddinbych yn 2019\-20
* Dros £52,000 ar gyfer Cyngor Rhondda Cynon Taf i ymestyn eu prosiect Tai yn Gyntaf llwyddiannus i gefnogi cyn\-droseddwyr
* £68,000 ar gyfer Byddin yr Iachawdwriaeth i redeg prosiect Tai yn Gyntaf ym Merthyr Tudful
* Dros £548,000 i helpu dau brosiect i weithio'n agos â'i gilydd yng Nghaerdydd. Bydd y cyllid yn cael ei ddefnyddio i barhau â phrosiect peilot Tai yn Gyntaf a reolir gan Fyddin yr Iachawdwriaeth, a hefyd gan Gyngor Caerdydd i sefydlu prosiect peilot Tai yn Gyntaf newydd i fodloni galw lleol.

Cynlluniwyd Tai yn Gyntaf i gefnogi pobl y mae arnynt angen cymorth sylweddol i'w helpu i symud o'r stryd. Caiff y rheini sy'n cael cymorth gynnig lle i fyw ac wedyn cymorth hirdymor wedi'i deilwra er mwyn eu helpu i reoli tenantiaeth yn annibynnol. Dywedodd Julie James, y Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol:


> "Gall Tai yn Gyntaf helpu pobl sy'n ddigartref ac sy'n aml ag anghenion cymhleth gan gynnwys salwch meddwl difrifol neu broblemau iechyd meddwl, problemau o ran camddefnyddio cyffuriau ac alcohol, iechyd corfforol gwael a diffyg rhwydwaith ehangach o gymorth.
> 
> "Nid yw Tai yn Gyntaf yn addas i bawb sy'n ddigartref \- mae dal i fod angen tai â chymorth a llety dros dro. Ond gall chwarae rôl bwysig iawn o ran helpu pobl, yn enwedig y rheini sydd wedi bod yn cysgu allan am gyfnod hir, i allu cynnal tenantiaeth."

Nod Tai yn Gyntaf yw darparu cymorth hyblyg am ba hyd bynnag y mae ei angen. Mae'n canolbwyntio ar yr hyn sydd ei angen ar yr unigolyn i wella a gallu cynnal tenantiaeth ei hun.

Mae prosiectau Tai yn Gyntaf wedi'u cynllunio i sicrhau bod gan yr unigolyn ddewis a rheolaeth \- cânt eu hannog i ymgysylltu â gwasanaethau cymorth fel gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl neu gamddefnyddio sylweddau, ond nid yw'n ofynnol iddynt wneud hynny er mwyn cael cymorth.

Ychwanegodd hi:


> "Mae'r gost o gefnogi pobl tra eu bod ar y stryd, o ran gwasanaethau iechyd, gwasanaethau brys a chyllidebau heddlu, yn fwy o lawer na'r gost o fynd i'r afael â'u digartrefedd. Rydym yn anelu at gefnogi'r bobl fwyaf agored i niwed yng Nghymru, ac mae Tai yn Gyntaf yn fuddsoddiad doeth a all arbed arian, ac achub bywydau, yn yr hirdymor."
