I'd like to understand the role of it as well and how it fits in as a public body.

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: Evidence session with screen industries organisations
I think a lot of it has been covered. If I could—. Does the workforce need further support from public bodies to help them, especially with the cost of living? And it has been mentioned about having a universal basic income. Do you think that would be a good…

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: Evidence session with screen industries organisations
Yes. I'm really interested in your games industry, and are your skills transferable into film and screen as well? I know that when I went to Bad Wolf studios, I had a look round, and I didn't realise how much construction is needed there and all sorts of…

Okay, thanks. So, I'm just asking questions about homeless prevention and services. So, you talked earlier about the housing support grant, how important it is, and it's helped 60,000 people each year. I think the funding's also been cut as well, though, over…

I'm sorry. You mentioned before about DHPs, using that. I remember it was raised that that funding has been cut by approximately 27 per cent this year for local authorities, following a cut in that funding from UK Government. So, I remembered you mentioned…

Okay, thank you. And I think, Jasmine, did you want to come in?

Okay. The ability of people living in temporary accommodation to access support and whether some groups are facing specific challenges, for example, young people or people with complex needs—just your advice on that, please. Thank you.

Sorry. So, what other main reasons, do you think, people are seeking homelessness-related advice for? What is the effectiveness of interventions, and may additional interventions be needed this coming winter—I'm really worried about that—such as the…

Is it my turn to ask the questions?

Homeless has that higher priority, doesn't it, I guess, on housing lists.

Homelessness - evidence session 3
Just on that, very often people are told that, to get on the housing list, they've got to become homeless. So, following on from what you're saying, it's ridiculous. They might be in private rented accommodation and they can't afford the rent or they're being…

So, we're hearing that support staff is really important. Thank you.

Homelessness - evidence session 2
That's really important to know as well. We've discussing that as a solution. Thank you. And then my second question is about housing staff, the strain this is putting on housing staff. So, would you like to respond to that?

And there's a shortage of houses to buy as well, isn't there, and we've talked in the past about rents not being taken into consideration when applying for mortgages as well, so there's all that that's part of it.

You said in Wales there's the greatest fear. I read somewhere that, in England as well, there are lots of houses still being put back on the market, but I think—. So, you think that the legislation coming through in Wales is the biggest factor, as opposed to…
