Ymwelodd y Gweinidog Cabinet Siân Gwenllian â @ShelterCymru yn Abertawe. Mae gormod o bobl yn wynebu ansicrwydd tai neu'n byw mewn llety rhent o ansawdd gwael. Rydym yn datblygu pecyn o fesurau i gryfhau amddiffyniadau tenantiaid a helpu i wneud rhentu'n fwy fforddiadwy.

Cabinet Minister Sian Gwenllian visited @ShelterCymru in Swansea.
Too many people in Wales face housing insecurity or live in poor-quality rental accommodation. We're developing a package of measures to strengthen tenant protections and help make renting more affordable.

This is a positive statement from @siangwenfelin - moving to a tighter definitino of social homes and to measuring net not gross additions will make the Government's life harder but it's absolutely the right approach to take 👏

Incredibly proud of the @ShelterCymru team for putting this one together. A real coming together of lived experience and data to make a powerful point. Over to the next Welsh Government now to commit to some solutions (we are happy to lend a hand)
