Prykhystok is being updated: from October 1, the Government expands the possibilities of resettlement of IDPs

"Today, at its meeting, the Government has approved a resolution under which starting tomorrow, October 1, the amount of compensation for people who provided temporary housing to internally displaced persons within the framework of the Prykhystok (Shelter – ed.) program will increase.

The program provides state compensation for housing and communal services to those who sheltered internally displaced persons free of charge from TOT or war (combat) zones.

Homeowners who accommodated IDPs will receive UAH 900 instead of UAH 450 for each such person per month. This became possible thanks to the updated Memorandum of Cooperation, which the Ministry for Communities and Territories Development had concluded with the Ukrainian Red Cross Society on behalf of the Government.

It’s worth mentioning that the Government has recently approved another innovation: when calculating subsidies, the mentioned compensation will not be calculated as received income. This will be another good incentive for those who host forced refugees as a result of the war.

In addition, the list of institutions that will receive compensation for communal services if they shelter IDPs was separately expanded. Not only state and communal enterprises, but also legal entities, non-profit organizations, religious organizations and others will have this right.
