As part of the project “Providing emergency winterization assistance to conflict-affected communities and supporting communities in liberated territories,” residents of some regions will be able to receive cash assistance to rent housing for internally displaced persons.
Previously, we told you how to get food packages for free.
The project was made possible thanks to the Czech humanitarian organization “People in Need” with financial support from the Humanitarian Fund for Ukraine.
The program was created to improve the living conditions of IDP households from regions of the country affected by Russian aggression.
Cash assistance helps cover monthly rent and utilities for 6 months.
IDP households that plan to move to new housing will receive additional payments in the amount of UAH 5,000 (can be used for expenses related to finding housing, moving, etc.).
Who can receive the new cash assistance?
The project to provide financial support for rental housing is designed for displaced people who are located in the following regions of Ukraine: Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Vinnytsia and Zhytomyr.

living in unsatisfactory conditions: the living area per household member is less than 7.5 m2, there are no sanitary conditions, heating, water supply, etc.
