English: Yes, Caroline, I'm very happy to join with you in commending Swansea Council. As I said, councils right across Wales have worked very hard, but in particular the councils that are pinch points for homelessness, so Swansea, Cardiff, Newport and Wrexham have been particularly hard hit. That's not to say that other councils haven't had a lot of input and their own problems and so on, but they've been particularly hard hit as the cities. And Swansea have done a remarkable job in housing a large number of people with complex needs. I take my hat off to the staff on the ground who are doing that work, because it's hard and difficult to do and they've done a cracking job. And you're absolutely right that part of the response to this, and to make sure that people don't go back to the streets, is the building of sufficient social housing to make sure that people can get the housing they need. We're very, therefore, pleased to say that we have a large number of what are called 'modern methods of construction' factories right across Wales. Members of the Senedd will be getting, in their inboxes, a small video from my department, alongside something called 'killer facts', which tell you all about modern methods of construction and what their benefits are as opposed to traditional methods of construction. And one of the real benefits of them is how fast they go up. So, houses are built in a factory on a level, in the warm; they're able to employ large numbers of people and they can socially distance - they've been working throughout the crisis. We were able to expand those factories pretty rapidly. They're geographically located all around Wales. So, we're able to employ local people to do it, we have Welsh supply chains, in the main, for them, and we're working on making sure that the supply chains across the piece are Welsh, and we can rapidly put them up on garage sites, at the back of developments, and on small outlying plots across Wales, where there are services already, and the build time is somewhere around 16 to 18 weeks, so it's quite phenomenal. So, that will very much be part of what we're doing, as well as accelerating the 'normal' - if I can put that in inverted commas - building of social houses, which we have in train, and then looking to use any money that I can get my hands on to accelerate the capital developments there, including a range of things that I want Members to be aware of, because I want them to be able to push them in their own constituencies. So, we're looking to take private sector homes into the social sector, offering people at least five years of the local housing allowance rent, to maintain the home throughout at a standard and pass it back to the landlord in good condition at the end. So, there are no worries about voids or management or anything else. It's a very good deal - five years or longer so that we can give people secure accommodation in those buildings, bringing empty, private sector accommodation back in and using it for social housing, and working with a group of investors to do that, because, as you know, many people are not getting much of a return on their money sitting in a bank account, but this is a good way of getting a return on your money, if that's what you're looking for. I very much acknowledge that we have a large number of good landlords across Wales who only own one or two houses, who might be very pleased to work with us in this social way to assist people, but also to get a regular income for themselves without the worry, because I know that's what they want. So, we're willing to look pretty much at any scheme that comes forward. So, if Members are aware of anything in their own area, I'd be only too delighted to hear from you.
Welsh: Gwnaf, Caroline, rwy'n hapus iawn i ymuno â chi i ganmol Cyngor Abertawe. Fel y dywedais, mae cynghorau ledled Cymru wedi gweithio'n galed iawn, ond yn enwedig y cynghorau lle mae problem digartrefedd ar ei gwaethaf, ac mae Abertawe, Caerdydd, Casnewydd a Wrecsam wedi dioddef yn arbennig o galed. Nid yw hynny'n golygu nad yw cynghorau eraill wedi cael llawer o fewnbwn a'u problemau eu hunain ac yn y blaen, ond maent wedi cael eu taro'n arbennig o galed fel dinasoedd. Ac mae Abertawe wedi gwneud gwaith rhyfeddol yn cartrefu nifer fawr o bobl ag anghenion cymhleth. Rwy'n canmol y staff ar lawr gwlad sy'n gwneud y gwaith hwnnw, oherwydd ei fod yn anodd i'w wneud ac maent wedi gwneud gwaith gwych. Ac rydych chi'n llygad eich lle mai rhan o'r ymateb i hyn, ac i wneud yn siŵr nad yw pobl yn mynd yn ôl ar y strydoedd, yw adeiladu digon o dai cymdeithasol i wneud yn siŵr fod pobl yn gallu cael y tai sydd eu hangen arnynt. Rydym yn falch iawn, felly, o ddweud bod gennym nifer fawr o'r hyn a elwir yn ffatrïoedd 'dulliau modern o adeiladu' ledled Cymru. Bydd Aelodau o'r Senedd, yn cael fideo bach o fy adran yn eu mewnflychau, ynghyd â 'ffeithiau hanfodol', sy'n dweud popeth wrthych am ddulliau adeiladu modern a beth yw eu manteision yn hytrach na'r dulliau traddodiadol o adeiladu. Ac un o wir fanteision y rhain yw pa mor gyflym y cânt eu codi. Felly, mae tai'n cael eu hadeiladu mewn ffatri ar y gwastad, mewn cynhesrwydd; gallant gyflogi nifer fawr o bobl ac maent yn gallu cadw pellter cymdeithasol - maent wedi bod yn gweithio drwy gydol yr argyfwng. Roeddem yn gallu ymestyn y ffatrïoedd hynny'n eithaf cyflym. Maent wedi'u lleoli'n ddaearyddol ledled Cymru. Felly, rydym yn gallu cyflogi pobl leol i wneud hynny, mae gennym gadwyni cyflenwi ar eu cyfer sydd at ei gilydd yn rhai Cymreig, ac rydym yn gweithio ar sicrhau bod y cadwyni cyflenwi i gyd yn rhai Cymreig, a gallwn eu codi'n gyflym ar safleoedd garejys, yng nghefn datblygiadau, ac ar leiniau bach anghysbell ledled Cymru, lle mae gwasanaethau eisoes, ac mae'r amser adeiladu rywle oddeutu 16 i 18 wythnos, felly mae'n eithaf syfrdanol. Felly, bydd hynny'n rhan bwysig iawn o'r hyn rydym yn ei wneud, yn ogystal â chyflymu'r gwaith adeiladu tai cymdeithasol 'normal' - os caf ei roi mewn dyfynodau - sydd gennym ar y gweill, a cheisio defnyddio unrhyw arian y gallaf ei ganfod i gyflymu'r datblygiadau cyfalaf yno wedyn, gan gynnwys amrywiaeth o bethau rwyf am i'r Aelodau fod yn ymwybodol ohonynt, oherwydd rwyf am iddynt allu eu gwthio yn eu hetholaethau eu hunain. Felly, rydym yn ystyried symud cartrefi sector preifat i mewn i'r sector cymdeithasol, gan gynnig o leiaf bum mlynedd o'r rhent lwfans tai lleol i bobl, i gynnal safon y cartref ar bob cam a'i drosglwyddo'n ôl i'r landlord mewn cyflwr da ar y diwedd. Felly, nid oes unrhyw bryderon ynghylch unedau gwag na rheolaeth nac unrhyw beth arall. Mae'n fargen dda iawn - pum mlynedd neu fwy fel y gallwn roi llety diogel i bobl yn yr adeiladau hynny, gan ddod â llety gwag yn y sector preifat yn ôl i ddefnydd fel tai cymdeithasol, a gweithio gyda grŵp o fuddsoddwyr i wneud hynny, oherwydd, fel y gwyddoch, mae yna lawer o bobl nad ydynt yn cael llawer o elw ar eu harian yn eistedd mewn cyfrif banc, ond mae hon yn ffordd dda o gael elw ar eich arian, os mai dyna rydych chi eisiau. Rwy'n cydnabod yn llwyr fod gennym nifer fawr o landlordiaid da ledled Cymru nad oes ganddynt ond un neu ddau o dai a allai fod yn falch iawn o weithio gyda ni yn y ffordd gymdeithasol hon i helpu pobl, ond hefyd i gael incwm rheolaidd iddynt eu hunain heb boeni, oherwydd gwn mai dyna maent ei eisiau. Felly, rydym yn barod i edrych ar unrhyw gynllun a gyflwynir. Os yw Aelodau'n ymwybodol o unrhyw beth yn eu hardal eu hunain, byddwn yn falch iawn o glywed gennych.
