Rwy'n falch o roi'r newyddion diweddaraf i Aelodau'r Cynulliad am y datblygiadau gyda'r targed tai fforddiadwy.  Mae Awdurdodau Lleol wedi nodi bod cyfanwsm o 6,890 o dai fforddiadwy ychwanegol wedi eu darparu ledled Cymru.  Mae hyn yn 69 y cant o'n targed o 10,000 o gartrefi fforddiadwy ychwanegol yn ystod tymor y Llywodraeth hon, ac mae'n amlwg yn dangos ein bod ar ein ffordd i gyrraedd ein targed.    

Elfen hanfodol o'r targed yw ymrwymiad Cymdeithasau Tai ledled Cymru, gyda chefnogaeth cyllid a chymorth polisi gan Lywodraeth Cymru.  Cafodd yr ymrwymiad hwn ei amlinellu'n glir yn y Cytundeb Cyflenwi Tai a gytunwyd rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a Chartrefi Cymunedol Cymru yn gynharach eleni.  Mae gallu'r Cymdeithasau Tai i ddefnyddio'r Grant Tai Cymdeithasol a'u hadnoddau eu hunain yn ogystal â chyfrannu mewn dulliau arloesol i ddarparu tai, megis y Grant Cyllid Tai, yn hanfodol.  

Fodd bynnag, ni ddylem fod yn rhy fodlon ac rydym yn treialu nifer o gynlluniau benchyca i ddarparu tai, yn ogystal ag yn edrych ar y ffordd yr ydym yn gwneud y defnydd gorau o'r rhaglen Grant Tai Cymdeithasol.  I ddarparu tai yn y dyfodol, rydym eisoes wedi ymrwymo i ehangu'r Grant Cyllid Tai ymhellach gyda'r ail gam, gan dreblu'r buddsoddiad cychwynnol i ddarparu oddeutu 2,000 o dai ychwanegol a chreu tua 5,000 o swyddi ychwanegol.  

Mae'r perfformiad hwn yn arwydd clir o'n hymrwymiad parhaus i dai a'r datblygiadau rhagorol sydd wedi'u gwneud.  Rydym yn bwriadu parhau i arloesi i ddarparu rhagor o dai fforddiadwy, o safon uchel, ac sydd o fewn cyrraedd anghenion pobl.  Bydd hyn yn cefnogi ein hamcanion ehangach o drechu tlodi, gan osgoi digartrefedd, lliniaru effaith y rhaglen diwygio lles ac i fod o gymorth i ddarparu swyddi a thwf  yng Nghymru.

I am pleased to provide an update to Assembly Members on progress with the affordable housing target. Local Authorities have reported a total of 6,890 additional affordable homes have been delivered across Wales. This represents 69 per cent of our target of 10,000 additional affordable homes during this term of Government and clearly demonstrates we are on course to meet our target.


A vital component of meeting the target is the commitment of Housing Associations across Wales, underpinned by both funding and policy support from Welsh Government. This commitment was clearly set out in the Housing Supply Pact agreed between Welsh Government and Community Housing Cymru earlier this year. The ability of Housing Associations to use Social Housing Grant and their own resources as well as participating in innovative approaches to housing delivery, such as the Housing Finance Grant, is essential.


However, we should not be complacent and are piloting a number of loan schemes to support housing delivery, as well as reviewing how we make best use of the Social Housing Grant programme. For future delivery, we have already committed to expand the Housing Finance Grant further with a second phase, tripling the initial investment to provide an estimated 2,000 additional homes and create an estimated 5,000 additional jobs.


This performance is a clear signal of our continued commitment to housing and of the excellent progress made.  We intend to continue to innovate to deliver more housing which is affordable, of a good standard and is accessible to a range of people’s needs. This will support our wider objectives of tackling poverty, preventing homelessness, mitigating the impact of welfare reform and underpinning the delivery of jobs and growth in Wales.
