Social homes provider ClwydAlyn has partnered with Transport for Wales on a new scheme to install cycle hangar units across several of its residential developments, helping residents to access secure, weather-proof storage for bicycles and other essential items.
Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government Jayne Bryant met with ClwydAlyn’s Head of Development and Growth Penny Storr, to see first-hand how recent Welsh Government Social Housing Grants of over £30 million have shaped the much-needed development of 183 affordable homes in Flintshire.
ClwydAlyn has completed the development of five new homes in Rhoslan, Anglesey, funded by the Welsh Government’s Transitional Accommodation Capital Programme (TACP), which has been designed to deliver good quality, affordable and longer-term housing at pace, for families and individuals in need of homes across Wales.
As the redevelopment of Penrhos Polish Village progresses, confirmation has recently been announced that the scheme, classified as ‘Extra Care Housing’, will offer 24/7 care support, with immediate help on hand, should residents require assistance.
Sandy Murray of St Asaph based housing association ClwydAlyn has been recognised as the region’s leading financial director at the Finance Director of the Year Awards 2025, which took place in Liverpool last week.
Talented young Rhyl resident and artist Freya Rees has already shown resilience and strength which far outstrip her years. Having recently excelled at A Levels, Freya has crafted a stunning original canvas on the theme of homelessness, which now takes pride of place at the head-office of her housing association, ClwydAlyn in St Asaph.
Residents have moved into a recently completed development of energy efficient, modern homes at Cae Swch, Llan Ffestiniog, in Gwynedd. The homes, which have been built by Wales Timber Solutions (WTS) on behalf of social homes provider ClwydAlyn, were funded by a social housing grant in partnership with Cyngor Gwynedd and Welsh Government.
A group of young people from Holywell has benefitted from a skills session called The Decider, an evidence-based cognitive behavioural strategy that helps individuals to manage emotions, reduce distress, and make positive choices. Skills +, who delivered the drop-in session, helped the young adults to explore opportunities which support emotional regulation, interpersonal skills, mindfulness and crisis survival.
Residents were welcomed into their new homes at Tre Angharad, Bodedern, Anglesey this week. The new development of 29 homes, located off London Road, will help to address the significant shortage of affordable homes on the Island, creating family-friendly living, which is designed to be energy efficient and promote lower costs and better wellbeing.
The final residents have moved into a new development of 56 energy-efficient, lifetime homes at Mynydd Isa, in Flintshire.
