Labour 'building in' inequality with housing crisis
Plaid Cymru 3-02-2026, 09:36 social
Statistics show that almost one third of people living in permanent accommodation in Wales are children, meaning that inequality is ‘built in for future generations’.
Sian Gwenllian, Plaid Cymru’s housing spokesperson, have accused Labour of ‘actively worsening the situation’ for people in Wales looking for housing by pushing ‘more and more’ people into poverty.
This comes after the Labour UK Government have decided to continue to freeze Local Housing Allowances, while rent prices in Wales are rising at a higher rate than the rest of the UK.
The Plaid Cymru MS continued by stating Plaid Cymru’s commitment towards creating a fair housing system that works for the people of Wales.
Plaid Cymru’s housing spokesperson, Sian Gwenllian MS, said:
“Wales is facing a housing crisis which is deepening every single day, and Labour don't know how to deal with it.
"Waiting lists for social homes are 170,000 people long, 13,000 have applied for homelessness support, and 10,000 people including 3,000 children are stuck in temporary accommodation.
"When a third of people in temporary accommodation are children, inequality is literally being built in for future generations.
"Rents are rising faster in Wales than anywhere else in the UK, but the Labour UK Government have chosen to continue the freeze on support for housing costs - meaning more and more people are pushed into poverty.
"Labour are not only unable to support people in this housing crisis, but they’re also actively worsening the situation for those who desperately need support.
"Plaid Cymru is serious about creating a fair housing system that works for the people of Wales, that supports individuals and families to live in warm, safe and permanent housing."
