English: I'd just like to pay tribute, first of all, to all of the people, both staff and volunteers, who every single day and night are averting people from becoming homeless and supporting those who are on the streets. Every single night, there is a hot meal available to people who are destitute, and there's a huge amount of work going on and people working their socks off. Cardiff council's homeless outreach team helped no less than 54 people on one night last week into emergency accommodation - obviously, when we had the most extreme weather. We still have 90 emergency places available for people who can be persuaded to go into emergency accommodation in what was very dangerously cold weather a few days ago. I also pay tribute to fact Cardiff outperforms the Welsh average. Three quarters of the people who sought early advice about becoming homeless were actually helped into alternative accommodation rather than waiting until they were on the streets. So, obviously that's a really important message to anybody in that situation. Unfortunately, we know that the main cause of homelessness is not addictions of one sort or another. It is, unfortunately, mortgage and rent arrears and that is because of a deliberate policy by the UK Government not to allow in-work benefits to keep pace with prices, and family breakdown will instantly lead to people not being able to pay their rent. So, there's been a 247 per cent increase in the last year in Cardiff, compared with the previous year, as a result of mortgage and rent arrears, and that is a cause for concern. So, the desperate need for more social housing, I think, is top of my list of concerns, because people who are in temporary accommodation are waiting too long before being able to be moved into permanent accommodation, because we simply don't have enough. We've already got a lot of people inappropriately housed who do have a roof over their heads. So, really - I know that there are intermediate pods being built as part of the innovative housing programme in Cardiff by Cadwyn, and I wondered if you can tell us when they might become available, because they're a bit like Ikea pods - everything available, privacy, security. And also you mentioned the trailblazer Salvation Army Housing First project that you visited recently. It would be very useful to hear a bit more about that. Otherwise, does the Government have any concrete plans to abolish section 21, which is forcing many people to become homeless, because they are simply unable to provide alternative accommodation when their private landlord decides they don't want to house them any longer?
Welsh: Hoffwn dalu teyrnged, yn gyntaf oll, i'r holl bobl, yn staff a gwirfoddolwyr, sydd bob dydd a nos yn atal pobl rhag bod yn ddigartref ac yn cefnogi'r rhai sydd ar y strydoedd. Bob un noson, mae pryd o fwyd twym ar gael i bobl anghenus, ac mae llawer iawn o waith yn digwydd a phobl yn gweithio fel lladd nadredd. Helpodd tîm allgymorth digartref Cyngor Caerdydd ddim llai na 54 o bobl ar un noson yr wythnos diwethaf i mewn i lety argyfwng - yn amlwg, pan oedd y tywydd ar ei fwyaf eithafol. Mae gennym 90 o leoedd brys ar gael o hyd i bobl a all gael eu perswadio i fynd i mewn i lety argyfwng yn ystod yr hyn oedd yn dywydd peryglus iawn o ran yr oerfel ychydig ddyddiau'n ôl. Rwy'n rhoi teyrnged hefyd i'r ffaith bod Caerdydd yn perfformio'n well na'r cyfartaledd yng Nghymru. Cafodd tri chwarter y rhai a aeth i ofyn am gyngor cynnar o ran bod yn ddigartref eu helpu i lety amgen yn hytrach nag aros nes eu bod ar y stryd. Felly, mae'n amlwg fod honno'n neges bwysig iawn i unrhyw un yn y sefyllfa honno. Yn anffodus, gwyddom nad prif achos digartrefedd yw dibyniaeth o ryw fath neu ei gilydd. Y prif achos, yn anffodus, yw ôl-ddyledion morgais a rhent ac mae hynny oherwydd polisi bwriadol gan Lywodraeth y DU i beidio â chaniatáu i fudd-daliadau mewn gwaith gadw i fyny â phrisiau, a bydd teuluoedd yn chwalu yn arwain ar unwaith at bobl yn methu â thalu eu rhent. Felly, bu cynnydd o 247 y cant yn ystod y flwyddyn ddiwethaf yng Nghaerdydd, o'i chymharu â'r flwyddyn flaenorol, o ganlyniad i ôl-ddyledion morgais a rhent, ac mae hynny'n peri pryder. Felly, mae'r angen dybryd am fwy o dai cymdeithasol, yn fy marn i, ar ben fy rhestr o bryderon. Mae pobl sydd mewn llety dros dro yn aros yn rhy hir cyn cael eu symud i lety parhaol, oherwydd nid oes digon ar gael. Eisoes mae gennym lawer o bobl sydd wedi cael eu cartrefu yn amhriodol ond sydd â tho uwch eu pennau, serch hynny. Felly, mewn gwirionedd - gwn fod yna bodiau canolraddol yn cael eu hadeiladu fel rhan o'r rhaglen tai arloesol yng Nghaerdydd gan Cadwyn, tybed a allech chi ddweud wrthym pryd fyddan nhw'n barod, oherwydd maen nhw braidd fel podiau Ikea - popeth ar gael, preifatrwydd, diogelwch. Ac roeddech chi'n sôn hefyd am brosiect arloesol Tai yn Gyntaf Byddin yr Iachawdwriaeth, yr ymwelsoch ag ef yn ddiweddar. Byddai'n ddefnyddiol iawn i ni gael clywed ychydig mwy am hynny. Fel arall, a oes gan y Llywodraeth unrhyw gynlluniau pendant i ddiddymu adran 21, sy'n gorfodi llawer o bobl i fynd yn ddigartref, oherwydd nad ydyn nhw'n gallu cynnig llety amgen pan fydd eu landlordiaid preifat yn penderfynu nad ydyn nhw'n dymuno eu cartrefu mwyach?
