Tai yn Gyntaf Gwynedd

Tai yn Gyntaf Gwynedd helps people experiencing homelessness to find a permanent home, 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 (Tai yn Gyntaf)?

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:
