Ar 22 Ionawr, ysgrifennodd swyddogion mewn termau tebyg at awdurdodau lleol, yng ngoleuni eu pwerau gorfodi o dan Ddeddf 2019 a’u swyddogaethau mewn perthynas â thaliadau budd-daliadau tai a chomisiynu gwasanaethau cymorth tai. Roedd y llythyr hwnnw yn nodi, er mai mater i awdurdodau lleol yw ystyried sut i ddefnyddio eu pwerau gorfodi a chyflawni swyddogaethau eraill sy’n ymwneud â’r mater hwn, ei bod yn bwysig eu bod yn gwneud hynny gan roi ystyriaeth lawn i gyd-destun y sefyllfa arbennig hon.
On 22 January, officials wrote in similar terms to local authorities, in light of their enforcement powers under the 2019 Act and their functions in respect of housing benefit payments and the commissioning of housing support services. That letter noted that whilst it is a matter for local authorities to consider how to use their enforcement powers and exercise other functions that relate to this matter, it is important that they are able to do so taking full account of the context of this particular situation.
