HOMES FOR ALL CYMRU STATEMENT<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As the collective voice of third-sector housing and homelessness organisations in Wales, Homes for All Cymru is united in our commitment to supporting safe, welcoming and well-informed communities. Every day, our member organisations see people of all backgrounds and beliefs impacted by the housing emergency and contributing to communities where they live. At a time when many people are feeling anxious or unsure, clear information and kindness matter more than ever.<\/p>\n

Right now, we know that the public debate around housing, migration and support services can be complex and sometimes confusing. People deserve access to accurate facts so they can form their own views with confidence. As organisations working across Wales to address the housing emergency, we will continue to share clear, accessible information and to be open about the challenges our communities face. With many years of combined experience, we know that the pressures people are feeling today have grown from decades-long undersupply of housing and wider system challenges, and that lasting solutions depend on addressing these real causes, rather than on simplistic or stigmatising narratives. We remain guided by the belief that access to a safe and secure home is a right for everyone.<\/p>\n

We also recognise that misinformation can create uncertainty and anxiety across our communities, not least for ethnic minority people and others who may already experience inequalities or feel less visible in public debate. Our shared commitment to fairness and anti-racism means we are committed to standing alongside everyone in our communities so that people feel respected, supported and safe in their homes, workplaces and neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n

Going forward, we will continue to work together to make sure people can access clear, accurate information, to challenge misinformation calmly and constructively, and to be open and transparent about what we do and why. In doing so, and in upholding our commitment to fairness and anti-racism, we aim to support confident, well-informed and kind communities across Wales.<\/p>\n

DATGANIAD CARTREFI I GYMRU GYFAN<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fel llais cyfunol sefydliadau tai a digartrefedd y trydydd sector yng Nghymru, mae Cartrefi i Gymru Gyfan wedi ymrwymo i gefnogi cymunedau diogel, croesawgar a gwybodus. Bob dydd, mae ein haelodau\u2019n gweld pobl o bob cefndir a chred yn teimlo effaith yr argyfwng tai ac yn cyfrannu at eu cymunedau. Ar adeg pan mae llawer o bobl yn teimlo\u2019n bryderus neu\u2019n ansicr, mae gwybodaeth glir a charedigrwydd yn bwysicach nag erioed.<\/p>\n

Ar hyn o bryd, gwyddom fod y ddadl gyhoeddus am dai, mudo a gwasanaethau cymorth yn gallu bod yn gymhleth ac weithiau\u2019n ddryslyd. Mae pobl yn haeddu cael y ffeithiau cywir er mwyn gallu ffurfio eu barn eu hunain yn hyderus. Fel sefydliadau sy\u2019n gweithio ar hyd a lled Cymru i fynd i\u2019r afael \u00e2\u2019r argyfwng tai, byddwn yn parhau i rannu gwybodaeth glir a hygyrch, a bod yn agored am yr heriau y mae ein cymunedau\u2019n eu hwynebu. Gyda blynyddoedd lawer o brofiad rhyngom, fe wyddom fod y pwysau y mae pobl yn ei deimlo heddiw wedi deillio o brinder tai ers degawdau a heriau ehangach yn y system, a bod rhaid mynd i wraidd y broblem, yn hytrach na dibynnu ar naratifau gor-syml sy\u2019n stigmateiddio, er mwyn cael atebion parhaol. Rydym yn dal i ddilyn y gred bod gan bawb hawl i gartref diogel.<\/p>\n

Rydym hefyd yn cydnabod y gall camwybodaeth beri ansicrwydd a phryder yn ein cymunedau, yn enwedig i bobl ethnig leiafrifol a phobl eraill a allai eisoes fod yn profi anghydraddoldeb neu\u2019n teimlo nad ydyn nhw\u2019n cael eu gweld yn y ddadl gyhoeddus. Mae ein hymrwymiad cyffredin i degwch a gwrth-hiliaeth yn golygu ein bod wedi ymrwymo i sefyll ochr yn ochr \u00e2 phawb yn ein cymunedau er mwyn sicrhau bod pobl yn teimlo eu bod yn cael eu parchu a\u2019u cefnogi, a\u2019u bod yn ddiogel yn eu cartrefi, eu gweithleoedd a\u2019u cymdogaethau.<\/p>\n

Wrth symud ymlaen, byddwn yn parhau i weithio gyda\u2019n gilydd i sicrhau bod pobl yn gallu cael gafael ar wybodaeth glir a chywir, i herio camwybodaeth mewn modd pwyllog ac adeiladol, ac i fod yn agored ac yn dryloyw am yr hyn rydym yn ei wneud a pham. Drwy wneud hynny, a chynnal ein hymrwymiad i degwch a gwrth-hiliaeth, ein nod yw cefnogi cymunedau hyderus, gwybodus a charedig ym mhob cwr o Gymru.<\/p>\n
