Wales once again has the highest rate of increase for private rents, with average rents up 8.7% in 12-months (quite a bit higher than inflation that...). This trend isn't sustainable, and it's only a matter of time before we see it turn into dramatic increases in homelessness

Another useful article from @jenniebibs and @SeneddResearch. In the next few weeks @ShelterCymru will be publishing updated figures on the number of people on social housing waiting lists in Wales - data that should be published by the government. research.senedd.wales/research-artic…
