The Welsh housing secretary Jayne Bryant MS has established an Affordable Housing Taskforce to unlock affordable housing developments in Wales and end homelessness.

Bryant has appointed Lee Waters MS, who previously served as deputy minister for climate change, to lead the Affordable Housing Taskforce.

In a written statement to the Senedd, the cabinet secretary for housing and local government said that “The delivery of more homes is, and must remain, inextricably linked to our ambition to end homelessness in Wales”.
