Are you taking the piss ? The council fund the voluntary sector because they know they deal with people that very often won't deal with the council or are simply not a priority
It's not a village fete out there and money isn't thrown around like confetti
The City Council every Xmas put money into getting people off the streets . It's done to make the city look good . Because if they were serious about it they would it into the new year when the weather is often worse .
The City Council funds voluntary sector agencies because it means they can control them . A lot of housing problems in Cardiff are down to evictions from Council Properties and people used to be directed to the housing help centre on St Mary Street which was run .....by Cardiff Council
I think you are living in a bit of a utopia and you are definitely barking up the wrong tree if you think voluntary sector organisations are the problem . It's central government , funding and the implementation of housing policy on a local level .
If you do think that specific housing charities in Cardiff are on a jolly then share it with me via pm
Adios
