Support for Housing Programs and Displaced Persons
According to the terms of the agreement, €70 million will be allocated to implement the HOME project, which provides compensation for destroyed housing. This will allow for the issuance of an additional 1,500 “eRecovery” housing certificates and enable around 4,000 families to purchase new homes to replace those lost.
“This means an additional 1,500 ‘eRecovery’ housing certificates and the opportunity for 4,000 families to acquire new homes instead of those destroyed. Thanks to the HOME project, over 7,600 Ukrainians have already received new housing, and a total of 24,300 Ukrainian families have received housing certificates,” noted Svyrydenko.
Another €100 million will be directed towards social support for internally displaced persons. These funds will be used to provide housing, assistance with living expenses, children’s education, and the integration of displaced persons into new communities. In total, over 135,000 families have already benefited from the “eRecovery” program, highlighting the scale of the issues in the housing sector due to the consequences of Russian aggression.
Additional Assistance from Sweden Ahead of Winter
In addition to support from the Council of Europe Development Bank, Ukraine will also receive financial assistance from Sweden. This country is allocating SEK 1.1 billion (approximately €100 million), of which SEK 450 million will go to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, and SEK 385 million (approximately €35 million) will be provided through the Trust Fund for the Reconstruction of Ukraine. The funds will be used for repairs to energy and housing infrastructure, which is especially important ahead of the winter season.
