It costs 450 UAH per month to house one IDP during the warm season and 900 UAH during the heating season.

Next week, funding for July’s compensation should begin.  

As a reminder, if you provide shelter to IDPs, the Ukrainian Red Cross Society will pay you compensation. It may also be provided to tenants of state or municipal housing, homeowners, or their representatives.

The Government has chosen the Ministry of Reintegration to oversee the “Shelter” project.
