English: Well, thank you very much for that, Mike Hedges. I mean, I agree with a very large part of what you said, and just to emphasise that the housing support grant is based on a single strategic planning mechanism that builds on existing duties for local authorities to produce the homelessness strategy. And he's just pointed out the need for an integrated system to pick up people such as the individual he described, which would need an integrated service between the school education service, the care system, the family support system, the housing system and so on in order to be able to pick up that person. We're just running a public awareness campaign, which I hope Members will have seen, around 'This is homelessness', showing people doing exactly that - sitting in cafes or sleeping on people's sofas. Anyone who doesn't have a secure place to leave their things that they think of as home is technically homeless, and what we're doing is wanting people to come forward as early as possible in that process so that they can access housing support grant services, the whole point of which is to keep vulnerable people - to help them find and keep a home or accommodation and to live as independently as possible, and make a significant contribution to maintaining them in that secure home. So, I can't emphasise to the Chamber enough that what the housing support grant guidance does for local authorities is talk about the practical ways in which each local authority is expected to contribute to that holistic strategic planning for these services that are so important in Wales to preventing homelessness.
Welsh: Wel, diolch yn fawr iawn am hynny, Mike Hedges. Hynny yw, rwy'n cytuno â rhan fawr iawn o'r hyn a ddywedsoch chi, a dim ond i bwysleisio bod y grant cynnal tai yn seiliedig ar ddull cynllunio strategol unigol sy'n adeiladu ar y dyletswyddau sydd eisoes yn bodoli i awdurdodau lleol gynhyrchu'r strategaeth ddigartrefedd. Ac mae newydd grybwyll yr angen am system integredig i adnabod pobl fel yr unigolyn a ddisgrifiodd, y byddai angen gwasanaeth integredig rhwng y gwasanaeth addysg ysgolion, y system ofal, y system cymorth i deuluoedd, y system dai ac ati er mwyn gallu ymdrin â'r unigolyn hwnnw. Rydym yn cynnal ymgyrch ymwybyddiaeth gyhoeddus, y gobeithiaf y bydd yr Aelodau wedi ei gweld, sef 'Dyma yw digartrefedd', sy'n dangos pobl yn gwneud yr union bethau hynny - yn eistedd mewn caffis neu'n cysgu ar soffas pobl. Mae unrhyw un nad oes ganddo le y byddai'n ystyried yn gartref diogel i adael ei bethau, yn dechnegol yn ddigartref, a'r hyn yr hoffem ei weld yw pobl yn dod ymlaen mor gynnar â phosib yn y broses honno fel y gallan nhw gael gwasanaethau grant cynnal tai, a holl ddiben hynny yw cadw pobl sy'n agored i niwed - eu helpu i ganfod a chadw cartref neu lety ac i fyw mor annibynnol â phosib, a gwneud cyfraniad sylweddol at eu cynnal yn y cartref diogel hwnnw. Felly, ni allaf bwysleisio digon i'r Siambr mai'r hyn y mae canllawiau'r grant cynnal tai yn ei wneud i awdurdodau lleol yw sôn am y ffyrdd ymarferol y disgwylir i bob awdurdod lleol gyfrannu at y cynllunio strategol cynhwysfawr hwnnw ar gyfer y gwasanaethau hyn sydd mor bwysig yng Nghymru i atal digartrefedd.
