Over the next few weeks, Cyngor Gwynedd will hold a series of 'Tai ar Daith' (Housing Roadshow) events to share information and advice on housing matters with the residents of the county.

Following the popularity of last year's events, Tai ar Daith will visit Bethesda, Porthmadog, Tywyn and Nefyn this year, starting with the first event at Ysgol Dyffryn Ogwen, Bethesda on 10 April 2025 from 4:00pm to 6:30pm.

The purpose of these events is to raise awareness of the housing schemes available to ensure that the people of Gwynedd have access to affordable, quality homes in their own communities.

During the events, representatives from the council and key partners will be on hand to provide information and specialist advice.

This will include details about grants and loans available to help Gwynedd residents buy a home, projects to increase the housing supply and projects to tackle homelessness in the county, among many more.

Officers will be available to help with many matters related to housing, from filling in forms to discussing applications, ensuring that all attendees receive support that's suitable to their personal needs.

A wide variety of council services will be represented at the event, including:

• Cost of living support
• Empty houses
• Energy
• Family information services
• Homelessness
• Housing options
• Housing schemes
• Planning

Housing associations will also be in attendance, side by side with partners involved in housing projects in specific areas.

These events come under the council's £140 million housing action plan to tackle the lack of housing in the county and ensure that the people of Gwynedd have access to suitable, quality housing, that's affordable and improves their quality of lives.

Cllr Paul Rowlinson, housing and property cabinet member is urging people to attend: "A great deal of work has taken place over the last few years to tackle the housing crisis in Gwynedd, and the Tai ar Daith events are an opportunity for people to learn more about the council and its partners' housing schemes and discuss their needs face-to-face with experts in the field."

"This can include homelessness support, social housing, loans to buy a home, bringing empty properties back into use, building new homes, and much more. If you have any housing-related concerns or questions, this event is for you."

"The council remains fully committed to tackling the housing crisis and providing support to our communities."

"While our doors are always open to those who need support, the Tai ar Daith events offer a direct way to learn more about how we can help you, with all housing services available under one roof."
