Tai yn Gyntaf Gwynedd

Tai yn Gyntaf Gwynedd helps people experiencing homelessness to find a permanent home quickly, providing ongoing support to help them settle in and maintain their new home

The project provides an intensive support package to actively address issues in a creative and innovative way.

What is Housing First?

The principle behind the service is that people experiencing homelessness with chronic housing and support needs need to be offered a ‘house first’ – rather than being placed in emergency accommodation, which is often unsuitable for their needs, then temporary accommodation, before moving to a permanent home.

Once they have a safe and long-term home, caseworkers can then offer intensive support built around the individual’s specific needs.

The Housing First service is a specialist service available by referral only. If you are homeless or worried about someone sleeping rough, contact Cyngor Gwynedd’s homelessness service:

The service is funded by Cyngor Gwynedd through the Welsh Government’s Housing Support Grant.
