Lansiwyd y cynllun Benthyciadau Arbed Tenantiaeth ym mis Hydref 2020. Ei nod oedd rhoi cefnogaeth i denantiaid a oedd yn wynebu newid dros dro yn eu hincwm oherwydd y pandemig. Mae hyn yn cynnwys pobl ar ffyrlo sydd wedi cael 80% o’u cyflog dros gyfnod o amser, y rheini a gymerodd wyliau di-dâl o’u cyflogaeth i ofalu am rhywun, neu’r rheini oedd ond yn gymwys am dâl salwch statudol yn ystod cyfnod o hunanynysu, a oedd yn golygu na allent fforddio’r rhent. Rwy’n ddiolchgar i Cyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru a’r saith Undeb Credyd sy’n cefnogi’r cynllun Benthyciadau Arbed Tenantiaeth, sydd hefyd wedi rhoi cymorth i denantiaid ddod o hyd i help drwy gynlluniau a rhaglenni budd-daliadau eraill, gan gynnwys y Cynllun Rhybudd Cynnar.
The Tenancy Saver Loan (TSL) scheme was launched in October 2020. It was designed to support tenants who experienced a temporary change of income due to the pandemic. This includes people on furlough who received 80% of their wages for a period of time, those who took unpaid leave from their employment to care for someone, or those who were only entitled to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) during self-isolation which meant that they could not afford their rent. I am grateful to the WCVA and the seven Credit Unions supporting the TSL scheme, who have also helped tenants find assistance through other schemes and benefit programmes, including the Early Alert Scheme.
