Finance Minister, Rebecca Evans and Housing and Local Government Minister, Julie James announced 2 streams of funding \- £243,000 from the Welsh Government’s Invest to Save fund and £400,000 of Innovate to Save funding \- during a visit to the accommodation for young people.


The 2 projects will be delivered by Swansea\-based organisation, FABRIC, who already provide accommodation for young people aged 16\-17 in the area. The £243,000 support package will help FABRIC to expand its services to the Neath Port Talbot area, providing a home for a further 6 people in the care system.


The second package, worth £400,000, will provide semi\-supported accommodation for young adults over the age of 18 leaving the care system and taking their first steps into adulthood – giving them the space to develop their independence whilst offering a support network to fall back on.


Both projects aim to generate cost savings to local authorities by providing a housing solution for young people in care, avoiding the local authority having to use expensive emergency accommodation.


Minister for Finance and Trefnydd said:



> “I am pleased that the Welsh Government’s Invest to Save fund, along with Innovate to Save funding, is helping support care leavers as they make their transition into adulthood and independent living.
> 
> 
> “The evidence tells us that young people leaving the care system are more likely to abuse drugs or alcohol, or to end up in the criminal justice system. As well as being terrible for the young people involved, it inevitably leads to costly interventions for the government. This innovative idea seeks to go some way to breaking this cycle by providing young people with help and support when they need it most.”


Minister for Housing and Local Government added:



> “This is a great example of how Innovate to Save funding can support some of Wales’ most vulnerable young people at a crucial time in their lives. I look forward to seeing more young people fulfilling their potential thanks to help from these projects.”


Together these 2 projects will provide a consistent pathway from care to independent living for some of Wales’ most vulnerable young people, supporting them to develop the required living skills, engage in education and training, employment and address personal development.


Director of FABRIC, Harri Coleman said:



> “Combining the goals of achieving equal opportunities and improving outcomes for young people alongside the financial savings which our approach delivers, was the basis of our involvement in Innovate to Save. It is FABRIC’s aim to be a part of eliciting positive change in the FABRIC kids and creating alternative positive outcomes in adulthood. Whilst it may not be possible to achieve equal outcomes for all, FABRIC aspires to see “Equal Opportunities for Care Leavers” in Wales and across the UK."

Cyhoeddodd y Gweinidog Cyllid, Rebecca Evans a'r Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol, Julie James ddwy ffrwd ariannu \- sef £243,000 o gronfa Buddsoddi i Arbed Llywodraeth Cymru a £400,000 o gyllid Arloesi i Arbed \- yn ystod ymweliad â'r llety i bobl ifanc.


Caiff y ddau brosiect eu darparu gan sefydliad o Abertawe, sef FABRIC, sydd eisoes yn darparu llety i bobl ifanc 16\-17 oed yn yr ardal. Bydd y pecyn cymorth o  £243,000 yn helpu FABRIC i ehangu ei wasanaethau i ardal Castell\-nedd Port Talbot, gan ddarparu cartref i chwech o bobl ychwanegol yn y system gofal.


Bydd yr ail becyn, gwerth £400,000, yn darparu llety â chymorth rhannol i oedolion ifanc dros 18 oed sy'n gadael y system gofal ac sy'n cymryd eu camau cyntaf tuag at fywyd oedolion \- gan roi lle iddynt ddod yn fwy annibynnol a chan gynnig rhwydwaith cymorth wrth gefn iddynt hefyd.


Mae'r ddau brosiect yn anelu at gynhyrchu arbedion cost i'r awdurdodau lleol trwy ddarparu cartref i bobl ifanc mewn gofal, gan atal yr awdurdod lleol rhag gorfod defnyddio llety brys drud.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Cyllid a’r Trefnydd:



> “Rwy'n falch bod Cronfa Buddsoddi i Arbed Llywodraeth Cymru, ynghyd â chyllid Buddsoddi i Arbed, yn helpu i gefnogi'r rhai sy'n gadael gofal wrth iddynt wrth iddynt dyfu'n oedolion a byw'n annibynnol.
> 
> 
> “Yn ôl y dystiolaeth mae pobl ifanc sy'n gadael y system gofal yn fwy tebygol o gamddefnyddio cyffuriau neu alcohol, neu fynd i mewn i'r system cyfiawnder troseddol. Yn ogystal â bod yn ofnadwy i'r bobl ifanc o dan sylw, mae'n arwain yn anochel at ymyriadau costus i'r Llywodraeth. Mae'r syniad arloesol hwn yn mynd rhywfaint o'r ffordd at dorri'r cylch hwn trwy gynnig cymorth a chefnogaeth i bobl ifanc pan fo arnynt eu hangen fwyaf."


Ychwanegodd y Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol:



> “Mae hon yn enghraifft wych o sut y gall cyllid Arloesi i Arbed cefnogi rhai o bobl ifanc fwyaf agored i niwed ar adeg dyngedfennol yn eu bywydau. Rwy'n edrych ymlaen at weld mwy o bobl ifanc yn cyflawni eu potensial a hynny oherwydd help gan y prosiectau hyn.”


Gyda'i gilydd bydd yn ddau brosiect hyn yn cynnig llwybr cyson o ofal i fyw'n annibynnol yn achos rhai o'r bobl fwyaf agored i niwed yng Nghymru, gan eu cefnogi i ddatblygu'r sgiliau byw gofynnol, cymryd rhan mewn addysg a hyfforddiant, cyflogaeth a datblygiad personol.


Dywedodd Cyfarwyddwr FABRIC, Harri Coleman:



> “Cyfuno nodau sicrhau cyfle cyfartal a gwella canlyniadau i bobl ifanc ochr yn ochr â'r arbedion ariannol sy'n deillio o'n dull gweithredu, oedd sylfaen ein hymwneud ag Arloesi i Arbed.Nod FABRIC yw bod yn rhan o ysgogi newid cadarnhaol ymhlith pobl ifanc FABRIC a chreu canlyniadau cadarnhaol amgen pan fyddant yn oedolion. Er nad oes modd sicrhau canlyniadau cyfartal i bawb o bosibl, mae FABRIC yn anelu at weld cyfle cyfartal i'r rhai sy'n gadael gofal yng Nghymru a ledled y DU."
