Regional Manager: Ty Rhosyn
About the Ty Rhosyn Service
TY RHOSYN Housing Support Services will aim to support vulnerable individuals at risk of homelessness, not just during a crisis, but throughout their journey towards independence.
Prevention and early intervention are key to addressing homelessness in rural areas offering a range of supports to people at risk of eviction, providing crisis and transitional accommodation and helping individuals to find long-term, sustainable, and affordable housing options. Our staff will work with people experiencing domestic abuse, alcohol and drug problems, mental health issues, problem gambling, and other factors that can affect their ability to maintain a tenancy.
There are currently many families and individuals across Wales who are without a home. This includes very visible homelessness, such as people rough sleeping, but also less visible forms, such as people staying in sheds or outhouses, on the sofas of family or friends, or living in hostels and bed and breakfasts without a plan to move on.
The common perception of a homeless person is an older man with a drinking or drug problem who sleeps in an inner-city park or street. However, we know from our experience and Census figures there is no “typical” homeless person.
Homelessness can affect women, men, and children from a wide range of backgrounds living in our cities, towns, and villages.
Yet the problem is often masked by the fact that people experiencing homelessness move from one temporary solution to another, ‘making do’ until they can find permanent accommodation. Some never achieve this.
These individuals, the ‘hidden homeless’, often move between the homes of family members or, as is often the case with individuals who ‘couch surf’, a series of friends.
Some stay in refuges, boarding houses, cheap motels, caravans and even cars. As you can imagine, such uncertainty can take an enormous toll on a person’s self-worth and capacity to go to school, find work and stay healthy.
Homelessness also comes at a high social and economic cost to our society, another reason why prevention is so vital.
TY RHOSYN Housing Support Services is a multi-faceted program of support to identify and address homelessness in rural Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. Providing a joined-up service that not only addresses current homelessness but also work toward a model that has the visualisation to cease homelessness in the future.

We will be working in Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, but we are hoping to extend our Tenancy programme into southeast Wales in years two/three.

- Calan Domestic Violence Services (CALAN DVS)
- Carmarthen Domestic Abuse Services (CARM DAS)
- West Wales Domestic Abuse Services (WWDAS)

Bydd Gwasanaethau Cefnogi Tai TŶ RHOSYN yn anelu at gefnogi unigolion bregus sydd mewn perygl o fod yn ddigartref, nid yn unig yn ystod argyfwng, ond ar hyd eu taith tuag at annibyniaeth.
Mae atal ac ymyrraeth gynnar yn allweddol i fynd i’r afael â digartrefedd mewn ardaloedd gwledig gan gynnig amrywiaeth o gymorth i bobl sydd mewn perygl o gael eu troi allan, darparu llety argyfwng a throsiannol a helpu unigolion i ddod o hyd i opsiynau tai hirdymor, cynaliadwy a fforddiadwy. Bydd ein staff yn gweithio gyda phobl sy’n profi cam-drin domestig, problemau alcohol a chyffuriau, problemau iechyd meddwl, gamblo problemus, a ffactorau eraill a all effeithio ar eu gallu i gynnal tenantiaeth.
Ar hyn o bryd mae llawer o deuluoedd ac unigolion ledled Cymru sydd heb gartref. Mae hyn yn cynnwys digartrefedd gweladwy iawn, fel pobl sy’n cysgu allan, ond hefyd ffurfiau llai gweladwy, fel pobl yn aros mewn siediau neu dai allan, ar soffas teulu neu ffrindiau, neu’n byw mewn hosteli a llety gwely a brecwast heb gynllun i symud ymlaen.
Y canfyddiad cyffredin o berson digartref yw dyn hŷn sydd â phroblem yfed neu gyffuriau sy’n cysgu mewn parc neu stryd yng nghanol dinas. Fodd bynnag, rydym yn gwybod o'n profiad a ffigurau'r Cyfrifiad nad oes unrhyw berson digartref “nodweddiadol”.
Gall digartrefedd effeithio ar fenywod, dynion, a phlant o ystod eang o gefndiroedd sy’n byw yn ein dinasoedd, ein trefi a’n pentrefi.
Ac eto, mae’r broblem yn aml yn cael ei chuddio gan y ffaith bod pobl sy’n profi digartrefedd yn symud o un ateb dros dro i ateb arall, ‘gwneud pethau’ nes y gallant ddod o hyd i lety parhaol. Nid yw rhai byth yn cyflawni hyn.
Mae’r unigolion hyn, y ‘digartref cudd’, yn aml yn symud rhwng cartrefi aelodau’r teulu neu, fel sy’n digwydd yn aml gydag unigolion sy’n ‘syrffio’, cyfres o ffrindiau.
Mae rhai yn aros mewn llochesi, tai llety, motelau rhad, carafanau a hyd yn oed ceir. Fel y gallwch chi ddychmygu, gall ansicrwydd o'r fath gael effaith enfawr ar hunanwerth a gallu person i fynd i'r ysgol, dod o hyd i waith a chadw'n iach.
Mae digartrefedd hefyd yn dod ar gost gymdeithasol ac economaidd uchel i'n cymdeithas, rheswm arall pam mae atal mor hanfodol.
Mae Gwasanaethau Cymorth Tai TŶ RHOSYN yn rhaglen amlochrog o gymorth i nodi a mynd i'r afael â digartrefedd yng nghefn gwlad Sir Gaerfyrddin a Cheredigion. Darparu gwasanaeth cydgysylltiedig sydd nid yn unig yn mynd i’r afael â digartrefedd presennol ond sydd hefyd yn gweithio tuag at fodel sydd â’r ddelwedd i roi’r gorau i ddigartrefedd yn y dyfodol.
Lle byddwn yn gweithio
Byddwn yn gweithio yn Sir Gaerfyrddin a Cheredigion, ond rydym yn gobeithio ymestyn ein rhaglen Denantiaeth i dde-ddwyrain Cymru ym mlynyddoedd dau/tri.
