What discussions has the Welsh Government had with Cardiff Council about its plans for the units being built at the former gasworks site near Ikea in Cardiff?
The former gasworks site in Cardiff is one of the sites funded by our Transitional Accommodation Capital Programme (TACP). Therefore, we have regular discussions with Cardiff Council to ensure effective delivery of the site and programme.
TACP funded properties must be allocated to people who are currently living in temporary accommodation, or those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. However, Welsh Government does not determine which groups of people should be housed in TACP funded homes. Properties are allocated, based on local needs and circumstances, in accordance with the allocation policy in place in the relevant local authority area.
