UAH 15 billion will be reallocated to the eRecovery state program for internally displaced persons. This was announced by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a meeting of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities.
“We already have a decision to allocate UAH 15 billion to eRecovery for IDPs. Unfortunately, this will not help everyone. But we can already allocate these funds this year. It will cover approximately 10,000 households and at least 30,000 people. The Government will explore options for securing additional funding,” the Head of State said.
Certificates for the purchase of housing will be issued to internally displaced persons who lost their homes as a result of the Russian aggression.
Deputy Head of the Office of the President Iryna Vereshchuk noted that housing is the primary need of internally displaced persons and veterans. She added that more than UAH 10 billion has been allocated to support veterans' families in this area.
During the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration – Minister for Communities and Territories Development Oleksii Kuleba additionally emphasized that the priority of the Ministry is to provide housing for those who need it most. To date, more than 10% of the housing stock has been destroyed or damaged. Nearly 2 million families have lost their homes, and more than 4.6 million Ukrainians have become internally displaced.
In addition to implementing the eRecovery program, next year the Ministry for Development will launch a pilot initiative to expand social housing, which will provide accommodation for at least 50,000 Ukrainians in its first phase.
