Reform says it would prioritise Welsh people for social housing if it wins the election – how it would do that is not clear though.
How do you define who is Welsh? That is not outlined in this manifesto, but Dan Thomas says those who have lived in Wales for 10 years, as well as veterans, will be prioritised.
BBC research found around 139,000 people were waiting for social housing in Wales in 2023.
Councils allocate social housing differently but must give preference to certain people – to those who are homeless, living in overcrowded or unsanitary housing, people who need to move because of their health or because they need to move somewhere because it causes hardship if they don’t.
They don’t allocate housing to people who are deemed not eligible – those from abroad who are subject to immigration control and those who are in serious rent arrears or behave in an anti-social way.
Reform says its pledge would be waived for domestic abuse survivors and care leavers under 25.
