Bydd y Bil yn sicrhau bod llai o deuluoedd yn dioddef y trawma o golli cartref ac effaith tymor hir hynny ar eu bywydau.  Bydd yn rhoi hyd yn oed fwy o bwyslais ar rwystro digartrefedd yn y lle cyntaf trwy gryfhau rôl awdurdodau lleol i rwystro digartrefedd fel rhan o’u dyletswyddau i helpu pobl ddigartref a’r rheini sy’n wynebu digartrefedd. Bydd diwygio’r ddeddfwriaeth ar ddigartrefedd yn ysgogi ffordd fwy cynhwysol o ymdrin â’r mater gan sicrhau bod pawb sydd mewn perygl yn cael help i ddatrys eu problemau lletya.  Bydd yn cryfhau’r mesurau i amddiffyn plant mewn teuluoedd digartref a theuluoedd sy’n wynebu digartrefedd. Rwyf wedi cyhoeddi canlyniadau’r ymgynghoriad y cynhalion ni ar fy nghynnig i newid statws angen cyn garcharorion yn ein cynigion ar ddigartrefedd.  Cawsom lawer o gefnogaeth i’r cynnig.  O ganlyniad, rwyf wedi cynnwys y diwygiad ar wyneb y Bil.
The legislation will help to ensure that fewer households experience the trauma of homelessness and the long-term impact it can have on people’s lives. It will place an even greater emphasis on preventing homelessness in the first place by strengthening the role of prevention in the duties that local authorities owe to homeless people or those threatened with homelessness.  It will also achieve a more inclusive approach through the reformed homelessness legislation so that everyone at risk receives help to find a solution, to their housing problems.  Greater  protection will be provided for children in households who are homeless or threatened with homelessness.  I have published the results of the consultation we have undertaken on my proposal to amend the priority need status of former prisoners in our homelessness proposals.  We have received widespread support for the proposal.  In view of this, I have included the amendment on the face of the Bill.
