> “Er nad yw’r amcangyfrifon o nifer y bobl sy’n cysgu allan ar y stryd yng Nghymru wedi dangos unrhyw gynnydd sylweddol o gymharu â’r adeg hon y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, rydyn ni i gyd yn gwybod, o gerdded drwy ein trefi a’n dinasoedd, bod y digartrefedd amlwg hwn yn parhau’n broblem yng Nghymru – mae llawer mwy i’w wneud.”

Mae’r Cyfrif Cenedlaethol o Bobl sy’n Cysgu Allan yn amcangyfrif nifer y bobl sy’n cysgu allan dros gyfnod o bythefnos ac ar un noson benodol yng Nghymru. Mae awdurdodau lleol yn dweud bod y ffigurau’n awgrymu bod dau berson ychwanegol yn cysgu allan dros y cyfnod o bythefnos o gymharu â’r un adeg y flwyddyn ddiwethaf. Mae hyn yn gynnydd o lai na un y cant, i 347 person. 

O ran y cyfrif un noson, nododd awdurdodau bod 158 o bobl yn cysgu allan ar y noson benodol honno. Mae hyn yn gwymp o 16 y cant, neu 30 person, o gymharu â’r flwyddyn flaenorol. Fodd bynnag, roedd y tywydd yn wael ledled Cymru'r noson honno, felly gallai hynny fod wedi effeithio ar y ffigurau.

Ledled Cymru, roedd 184 o welyau brys ar noson y cyfrif un noson – gyda 18 y cant ohonynt, sef 33 gwely, yn wag ac felly ar gael. 

Dywedodd Julie James: 


> “Amcangyfrifon yw’r rhain – felly rhaid bod yn ofalus gyda nhw. Ond ymddengys bod nifer y bobl sy’n cysgu allan yn sefydlogi yn gyffredinol, ac yn cwympo mewn rhai ardaloedd.

> “Rydyn ni’n buddsoddi mwy na £30m eleni a’r flwyddyn nesaf i fynd i’r afael â digartrefedd, a’i atal. Rydyn ni wedi ymrwymo i adeiladu mwy o dai fforddiadwy ac rydym yn gweithredu i ddiogelu ein stoc dai cymdeithasol.

> “Fe barhawn i dreialu’r model Tai yn Gyntaf mewn prosiectau peilot ar draws Cymru, a hynny gyda chefnogaeth £700,000 o gyllid ychwanegol. Mae’n ddyddiau cynnar yn y prosiectau hyn, ond rydyn ni eisoes yn gweld tystiolaeth o lwyddiant o ran cael pobl sydd wedi bod yn cysgu allan ers amser maith i mewn i gartref.

> “Yn ddiweddar, ymwelais â phrosiect Tai yn Gyntaf Byddin yr Iachawdwriaeth yng Nghaerdydd a chwrdd â rhywun sydd wedi cael cartref drwy’r prosiect. Soniodd am y gwahaniaeth syfrdanol y mae hynny wedi’i wneud i’w fywyd. Gall y rhesymau y mae pobl yn canfod eu hunain yn cysgu allan fod yn rhai amrywiol a chymhleth \- rydyn ni wedi ymrwymo i sicrhau bod gan bawb yng Nghymru gartref addas.”

> “Although the annual estimates of the number of people sleeping rough in Wales have shown no significant increase compared to the same time last year, we all know from walking through our towns and city centres that this most visible form of homelessness remains persistent in Wales, and there is much more for us all to do.”

The Rough Sleeper Count is an estimate of the number of people sleeping outdoors over a two week period and over a one night period in Wales. Local authorities estimate that the figures show an additional two people sleeping rough over the two week period compared to the same time less year, an increase of less than one per cent to 347 people. 

Local authorities reported 158 people sleeping rough on the night of the snapshot count, a decrease of 16 per cent or 30 people, on the previous year. However bad weather was reported across Wales on the night of the count which may have affected figures. 

Across Wales there were 184 emergency bed spaces on the night of the snapshot count, of which 18 per cent or 33 bed spaces were unoccupied and available. 

Julie James said: 


> “While we have to be cautious about these estimates, the number of people sleeping rough appears to be stabilising overall and in some areas numbers appear to actually be decreasing. 
> 
> “We are investing more than £30m this year and next year to prevent and tackle homelessness. We are committed to building more affordable housing and protecting our social housing stock. 
> 
> “We will continue to trial the Housing First model in various pilots across Wales, supported by over £700,000 of additional funding. These projects are in their early days but we are already seeing signs of success with people who have been sleeping rough for a long time supported into housing. 
> 
> “I recently visited the Salvation Army Housing First project in Cardiff and met someone who has been successfully housed through the project. He told me about the dramatic difference it has made to his life and what it means to have his own home again. The reasons people find themselves sleeping rough can be complex and varied; we are committed to ensuring that everyone in Wales has a home that meets their needs.”
