The Minister joined the rough sleeper intervention team from homelessness charity the Wallich, based at Dinas Fechan in the centre of Swansea.  

The Wallich receive over £256,000 of Welsh Government funding to run Intervention teams which work to find rough sleepers, offer them support and link them to services which can help them to move off the streets. The teams work in known rough sleeping hotspots in Bridgend, Cardiff, Newport and Swansea.  

Rebecca Evans said: 


> “It was really important to me to speak to the people who receive these services and listen to their stories, as well as the people who are delivering services to help people to get off the streets. 
> 
> “For many people who have begun sleeping rough, this team is the first point of contact and can help them to find support and access services that can help them. 
> 
> “In Swansea, the team operate a drop in service which can provide people with advice, information, health services and assistance with benefit claims, as well as access to phone and computer services – all things which can really make a difference.
> 
> “We are providing an additional £10m of funding to tackle homelessness in each of the  next two financial years, and we are currently supporting the City and County of Swansea, working with The Wallich, to increase emergency accommodation provision locally. 
> 
> “Our Rough Sleepers Action Plan is a two year plan developed with organisations working with rough sleepers and vulnerably housed people . We are working together as a sector to address the practical, emotional, physical and psychological needs of people sleeping rough and support them to reintegrate into society.
> 
> “People find themselves sleeping on the streets for a range of complex reasons, and we are committed to supporting them to find safe affordable housing, so they can achieve their full potential.”

Lindsay Cordery\-Bruce, chief executive of The Wallich, said: 


> “The need for homelessness services is growing in demand and this has been a concerningly consistent trend in recent years. In 2017, our rough sleepers’ intervention teams increased the number of people we support by 55% compared to the previous year – working with 526 people in Swansea\-alone. 
> 
> “Our intervention teams are crucial in gaining the trust of rough sleepers and helping them to transition into one of our many other accommodation or learning and development projects which help people break the cycle of homelessness.
> 
> “There are people in Wales who are stuck on the streets and others across the country who are vulnerably housed; yet no two situations are the same. We have a range of innovative projects but there is more work to be done to create more choice for the people we support. 
> 
> “It is a positive indicator that the Minister is taking an active interest in the work we do and the people we support. It is a positive indicator that the Welsh Government has committed more funding to support vulnerable people. And it is a positive indicator that we’re seeing more sympathy towards people experiencing homelessness from the general public. This gives us, as a charity, hope that we can help people to live safer, more stable and happier lives for the long\-term.”

Roedd y Gweinidog wedi ymuno â thîm ymyrraeth y Wallich sy’n helpu i leihau achosion o gysgu allan. Elusen sy'n mynd i'r afael â digartrefedd yw'r Wallich, sydd wedi'i lleoli yn Ninas Fechan yng nghanol Abertawe.  

Mae'r Wallich yn derbyn dros £256,000 o gyllid gan Lywodraeth Cymru i gynnal timau ymyrraeth sy'n gweithio i ddod o hyd bobl sy'n cysgu allan, cynnig cymorth iddynt, a'u rhoi nhw mewn cysylltiad â gwasanaethau sy'n gallu eu helpu i symud oddi ar y strydoedd. Mae'r timau'n gweithio yn y mannau hynny y mae pobl yn cysgu allan ynddynt yn aml ym Mhen\-y\-bont ar Ogwr, Caerdydd, Casnewydd ac Abertawe.  

Dywedodd Rebecca Evans: 


> “Roedd hi'n bwysig iawn imi siarad â'r bobl sy'n derbyn y gwasanaethau hyn, a gwrando ar eu storïau. Roedd hi hefyd yn bwysig imi glywed gan y bobl sy'n darparu'r gwasanaethau i helpu pobl i symud oddi ar y strydoedd. 
> 
> “I nifer o bobl sydd wedi dechrau cysgu allan, y pwynt cyswllt cyntaf yw'r tîm hwn. A gall y tîm eu helpu i gael cymorth a mynediad at y gwasanaethau hynny sy'n gallu eu helpu nhw. 
> 
> “Yn Abertawe, mae'r tîm yn gweithredu gwasanaeth galw heibio sy'n gallu rhoi cyngor, gwybodaeth, gwasanaethau iechyd a chymorth i hawlio budd\-daliadau i bobl, yn ogystal â chyfle iddynt ddefnyddio ffôn a chyfrifiadur \- pethau sy'n gallu gwneud byd o wahaniaeth.
> 
> “Rydyn ni'n rhoi £10m o gyllid ychwanegol i fynd i'r afael â digartrefedd ym mhob un o'r ddwy flwyddyn ariannol nesaf. Ar hyn o bryd rydyn ni'n cefnogi Dinas a Sir Abertawe, drwy weithio â'r Wallich, i gynyddu darpariaeth llety argyfwng yn lleol. 
> 
> “Mae ein Cynllun Gweithredu Cysgu Allan yn gynllun dwy flynedd a gafodd ei ddatblygu ar y cyd â sefydliadau sy'n gweithio gyda phobl sy'n cysgu allan a phobl sydd mewn llety anaddas.  Rydyn ni'n gweithio ar y cyd fel sector i ddiwallu anghenion ymarferol, emosiynol, corfforol a seicolegol unigolion sy'n cysgu allan, ac yn eu cefnogi i ailintegreiddio i gymdeithas.
> 
> “Mae pobl yn cysgu ar y strydoedd am amrywiaeth o resymau cymhleth. Ac rydyn ni wedi ymrwymo i'w helpu i ddod o hyd i gartrefi diogel a fforddiadwy, fel y gallan nhw gyflawni eu potensial llawn."

Dywedodd Lindsay Cordery\-Bruce, prif weithredwr y Wallich: 


> “Mae galw cynyddol am wasanaethau digartrefedd, ac mae hynny wedi bod yn duedd cyson sy'n destun pryder dros y blynyddoedd diweddar. Yn 2017, roedd ein timau ymyrraeth sy'n ymwneud â phobl sy'n cysgu allan wedi cynyddu nifer y bobl yr ydyn ni'n rhoi cymorth iddyn nhw gan 55% o'i gymharu â'r flwyddyn flaenorol \- drwy weithio gyda 526 o bobl yn Abertawe yn unig. 
> 
> “Mae ein timau ymyrraeth wedi bod yn hanfodol o ran ennill ffydd pobl sy'n cysgu allan a'u helpu i symud i lety arall neu i brosiect dysgu a datblygu sy'n helpu pobl i dorri'r cylch o ddigartrefedd. 
> 
> “Mae yna bobl yng Nghymru sy'n ei chael hi'n anodd i symud oddi ar y strydoedd, ac mae yna eraill sy'n byw mewn llety anaddas; ond mae sefyllfa pob unigolyn yn wahanol. Mae gyda ni amrywiaeth o brosiectau arloesol, ond yn sicr mae angen gwneud mwy o waith i greu mwy o ddewis i'r bobl yr ydyn ni'n ceisio eu helpu. 
> 
> “Mae'n arwydd cadarnhaol bod y Gweinidog yn dangos diddordeb byw yn y gwaith yr ydyn ni'n ei wneud a'r bobl yr ydyn ni'n eu helpu. Mae'n arwydd cadarnhaol bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i fuddsoddi mwy o gyllid i gefnogi pobl sy'n agored i niwed. Ac mae'n arwydd cadarnhaol ein bod ni'n gweld bod gan y cyhoedd fwy o gydymdeimlad â phobl sy'n profi digartrefedd. Mae hynny'n rhoi mwy o obaith inni, fel elusen, allu helpu pobl i fyw bywydau mwy diogel, mwy sefydlog ac hapusach  am gyfnod hir."
