Over 280 more households are waiting for a council house in the Vale compared to six months ago.
Vale of Glamorgan Council said there are currently 7,217 households on its waiting list and that Baruc, Buttrills, and Castleland – all in Barry – are the most in-demand areas.
In September 2024, there were 6,930 people waiting for a council home and in February 2024 that figure was about 6,200.
There were 1,275 people presenting to the council as homeless from March 2024 to March 2025.
The council is in the process of building more council homes and recently completed a new development in Barry.
The Vale of Glamorgan, like other areas across the UK, is dealing with a housing crisis.
There were just over 400 households approaching the council for homelessness advice during the first half of this financial year and at the end of September there were just short of 300 households accommodated in temporary accommodation.
That figure has since dropped to 196.
