Nod y Grant Caledi i Denantiaid yw caniatáu i denantiaid sy’n wynebu bygythiad o gael eu troi allan i aros yn eu cartref. Mae colli cartref yn cael effaith enfawr ar bobl a theuluoedd, gan gynnwys colli rhwydweithiau cymorth, plant yn gorfod symud ysgol ac iechyd meddwl a lles teuluoedd yn dioddef. Yn ychwanegol at yr effeithiau personol ar oedolion a phlant, mae’r costau o ddelio ag effeithiau digartrefedd i wasanaethau cyhoeddus yn sylweddol uwch na’r costau o atal digartrefedd yn y lle cyntaf. Dylai’r grant ddarparu arbedion sylweddol o ran costau i bob awdurdod lleol wrth atal digartrefedd a helpu pobl i aros yn eu cartrefi a chynnal eu tenantiaethau.
The Tenancy Hardship Grant is intended to allow tenants who are facing an imminent threat of eviction to stay in their home. The impact of being made homeless on people and families is huge – including support networks being lost, children having to move school, and families’ mental health and well-being suffering. In addition to the personal impact on adults and children, the cost to public services of dealing with impact of homelessness, rather than preventing it in the first place, is significantly higher. The grant should provide significant cost savings to each local authority in preventing homelessness and supporting people to remain in their homes and maintain their tenancies.
