Promoting Equality & Social Justice in Housing in Wales

Policy

Everything we do is grounded in the belief that everyone in Wales has a right to a good home. We work to ensure that housing laws, policies and decisions make a positive impact on the lives of diverse people in Wales and do not lead to discrimination and disadvantage. To do this, we work with Welsh Government, the Senedd and other key stakeholders in Wales. We respond to consultations, comment on current issues and influence stakeholders on other key topics.

Tai Pawb also raises awareness of housing and wider inequality issues facing people with protected characteristics. We want providers, politicians, tenants and others to be aware of the problems people from protected groups face so that we can work together on finding solutions. We do this through campaigns, producing and sharing research and publications, commenting on current issues and keeping you up to date via our comments and analysis blog and Equality and Housing Updates.
