CIH Cymru publishes Welsh Housing Monitor in partnership with Welsh Government
A new and comprehensive statistical compendium for the Welsh housing sector has been published today.
The Wales Housing Monitor brings together multiple data sets to produce one publication with the following chapter headings:
- Housing need and supply
- Quality and standards
- Affordability of housing
- Homelessness
The document is the result of collaboration between CIH Cymru and Welsh government to ensure that practitioners, decision-makers and stakeholders have access to a comprehensive overview of the country’s housing sector to properly inform the sectoral debate around housing and homelessness in Wales.
Matt Dicks, CIH Cymru national director, said: “We are very pleased to have collaborated with Welsh Government to deliver this important publication.
“A comprehensive and up to date set of data that paints a full picture of where we’re at in terms of the number of new homes we are delivering, the quality of those homes, the affordability of housing and levels of homelessness is essential if we are to turn the corner on our housing pressures.
“We have the UK Housing Review which provides some Welsh data, but this provides a more granular look at the scene in Wales through a series of data sets. We hope to continue this collaboration with Welsh Government to ensure that we reset this baseline of data on an annual basis.”
