Rents are rocketing, government help with housing costs is dropping.
Thousands of people in Wales are unable to find a home they can afford.
On average people are £80 a month short, forcing them to choose between cutting back on food and heating or risk falling into rent arrears or worse becoming homeless.
It’s a crisis gripping two out of three low-income households, and one we’re committed to exposing.
Already we’ve revealed that only 1 in 20 homes available to rent privately is fully covered by social security benefits. We’re highlighting how some landlords discriminate against low-income renters. And we’re uncovering the shocking shortage of social housing for single people.
Our clickable Advent calendar below contains 24 facts which reveal the state of the crisis facing Wales this Christmas.
