Our work in Wales

We provide direct support for people experiencing homelessness and influence policy to help end homelessness in Wales.

We provide frontline services for people experiencing homelessness in South Wales and campaign for the national changes needed to end homelessness altogether.   

  • Our South Wales Skylight provides direct one-to-one support to people who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness.   
  • Our Best Practice team works across Great Britain, including in Wales, to identify, test and promote ways of ending homelessness.   
  • Based on our research into the causes of homelessness and solutions, our Wales policy team campaigns for the national changes needed to end homelessness in Wales.

We work with partner organisations, academics and people with lived experience of homelessness to build and champion solutions so that everyone in Wales can have a safe, affordable home.  

Together we can end homelessness

Speak up to end homelessness

A safe, stable home is essential for our health and wellbeing. But right now, thousands of us in Wales are facing the trauma of homelessness.    

Last year, over 13,000 households in Wales were recorded as homeless (Welsh Government). And we know there are many more trapped in forms of hidden homelessness like sofa surfing and sleeping in cars. But it doesn’t have to be this way, with the right systems change we can end homelessness. 

To end homelessness in Wales, we need:   

  • investment in social homes   
  • better homelessness prevention  
  • better support for people facing homelessness.    

We’re calling on the Welsh Government and all Members of the Senedd to make ending homelessness a priority, but we need your help too! Will you join us?

We’re getting a new homelessness Law in Wales!

Crisis has long been calling for changes to the law on homelessness. On 10 February 2026, we celebrated as Members of the Senedd unanimously voted to pass the Homelessness and Social Housing Allocations (Wales) Bill into law. We are pleased that many of the changes in the new law were informed by the work of the Expert Review panel which Crisis co-ordinated.
