New housing for internally displaced families from frontline regions opened in Kyiv region

The fifth turn of “Hansen Village” was opened in Kyiv region – a newly built apartment building for families from frontline regions, a dormitory for evacuees, a space for IT academy students, and a recovery shelter for women who have survived inhuman crimes committed by the russian army.

The opening ceremony was attended by Deputy Prime Minister for the Restoration of Ukraine – Minister for Communities and Territories Development Oleksii Kuleba.

Almost 500 families from Kherson, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Sumy regions already live in the town.

This project is not just about housing. It is about restoring inner strength, a sense of security, and the opportunity to rebuild one's life. It is precisely such steps that form the basis for rebuilding communities, supporting people, and restoring hope.

"I remember Mr. Hansen's visit to the Kyiv region in the spring of 2023. That was when we first talked to him about the importance of building housing for people who had lost their homes. Only eight months passed between that visit and the opening of the first turn of residential complexes – by the end of year, the first families from the frontline territories were moving into their new homes. This is the result of coordinated work and a high level of responsibility – I am grateful to Mr. Hansen for this," said Oleksii Kuleba.

Over two years, the Charity Hansen Ukrainian Mission Foundation has scaled up its project to Sofiivska Borshchahivka, Kolonshchyna, Moshchun, Andriivka, Buzova, and the Makariv community. This is more than 900 homes, with about 4,000 internally displaced persons living there.

This summer, the Ministry for Communities and Territories Development and the Charity Hansen Ukrainian Mission Foundation launched a new project to build a new town in the village of Hlevakha in the Kyiv region. The design of the settlement is already being finalized, and construction of 720 housing units will begin soon.

"It is also important to integrate state programs into such initiatives by philanthropists. For example, almost 130 families have already been able to purchase housing in towns thanks to eVidnovlennia certificates. I am grateful to Mr. Hansen for our joint work. This project shows that the combination of state instruments and partner support produces real results for people. It is this kind of cooperation that shapes new models of reconstruction and creates opportunities for those who have suffered most from the war," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.
