ONE in three people in Wales have been impacted by the housing emergency, a charity has revealed.
Research conducted on behalf of Shelter Cymru shows that over a million children and adults in Wales are living in unsafe or unaffordable housing.
This includes everything from families forced to choose between paying rent or mortgage payments and buying food, to people living in homes riddled with damp, mould and disrepair. The shocking new figures show the scale of the challenge facing the Welsh Government and show why good homes must be front and centre of the Government’s welcome commitment to build back better and fairer in the wake of the pandemic.
