Charities say a rise in the number of people sleeping rough in Wales | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
has highlighted a "gap" in the Welsh government's approach | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
It comes after research suggests there's been an increase in people | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
living on the streets in the past year. | :00:31. | :00:31. | |
Here's our political reporter, Cemlyn Davies. | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Myself and a couple of others, she's asleep, right in the corner there. | :00:34. | :00:44. | |
For seven years Alan Rayner lived on the streets of Swansea. | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
The former professional golfer's life | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
unravelled, as grief and alcohol took their toll, | :00:53. | :00:53. | |
Like I say, blankets or sleeping bags... | :00:54. | :01:01. | |
Alan is now off the streets and drink thanks to the | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
support he's received from organisations like the Walloch | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
charity, but the latest figures released by the Welsh | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
government show the number of people sleeping rough | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
Some of their results are based on a simple headcount carried | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
The estimated total number of people sleeping rough on the Welsh streets | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
That's an increase of 72% in 12 months. | :01:27. | :01:36. | |
That snapshot count followed another piece of research | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
During that fortnight an estimated 313 people | :01:39. | :01:50. | |
were found to be sleeping rough in Wales, up from 240 in 2015. | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
Tackling homelessness has been a priority for successive Welsh | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
governments, and recent housing legislation aims to make sure more | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
help is available for people at risk of losing their home. | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
We're better at preventing homelessness than we | :02:05. | :02:05. | |
used to be, but we're not so good at helping people | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
into that hole and once they are living on the streets. | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
The Welsh government said it recognises that there is | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
more to do and has made money available to help homeless people | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
regain their independence, like Alan has. | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
