The Welsh Government has set aside £1.5 million to support safe and warm hubs this winter.
Over 3,500 people in the Vale made use of a network of nearly 40 local warm spaces as part of the council's Warm Welcome scheme.
It was launched in November 2022 in response to the cost-of-living crisis.
The Welsh Government says the funding will allow enable local councils to provide more support in the coming months, ranging from offering refreshments to extra opening hours for activities such as exercise, art and learning new skills.
Vale Council leader Lis Burnett, a member of the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA), said: "We are grateful to the Welsh Government for providing this funding which will help to ensure that these vital spaces are maintained."
“These hubs have provided a lifeline for many residents and families right across Wales. I’m pleased that this funding will enable councils to continue to deliver these spaces alongside the range of other support delivered locally."
"I would advise any residents who would like to find out more to get in touch with their local authority."
The WLGA will distribute the money to local authorities for a range of venues - including in the statutory and voluntary sectors - such as faith, sport and community facilities.
Over 850 warm spaces were set up across Wales during late 2022 and early 2023.
Social Justice Secretary, Jane Hutt said: “The £1.5m I am announcing today will help ensure there will continue to be places for people to go in local communities across Wales."
"They will support individuals and families, bringing people together and helping to combat issues such as loneliness and offer advice including on dealing with the cost-of-living, eligibility and accessing benefits."
The Labour MS for the Vale of Glamorgan added: "I have seen the important role these hubs have to play in the makeup of local areas, welcoming people of all ages and backgrounds."
"I am pleased we are providing funding which will help build on what we have previously provided, and which will see them continue to offer their important services for the benefit of the people they serve."
David Barclay, a director of the Warm Welcome campaign, added: "These spaces are a lifeline for people, and we’re delighted that the Welsh Government is investing £1.5m to expand its support for inclusive, warm, welcoming, and safe spaces right across Wales."
"We know the demand for these hubs will be high and we look forward to working with the Welsh Government in raising awareness of these vital spaces.”
