The government is developing a comprehensive housing policy for Ukrainians affected by the war — Kuleba
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine is developing a comprehensive national housing policy designed to help resolve housing issues for citizens who have lost their homes as a result of the full-scale war with Russia.
The main goal of the new initiative is to ensure that affected Ukrainians have quick and unimpeded access to effective mechanisms for financial and material support.
Officials discussed the strategic directions of the work in detail during a special meeting attended by representatives of relevant ministries, members of parliament, and heads of regional military administrations.
The meeting participants approved the key provisions of the National Housing Strategy, which will serve as the foundation for the government’s relevant activities in the coming years.
This comprehensive document is expected to fully coordinate the allocation of state and donor funds through 2030.
As part of the new nationwide program, the Cabinet of Ministers plans to introduce and expand several effective social assistance tools at once.
Among the main mechanisms, Oleksiy Kuleba cited regular housing rental subsidies, the creation of an extensive municipal housing stock, and compensation for the full restoration of damaged properties.
The state will continue to issue housing vouchers for veterans, people with war-related disabilities, and other vulnerable groups, while simultaneously issuing certificates to families whose homes have been completely destroyed.
Government officials paid special attention to the development of accessible, preferential mortgage programs and a clear division of responsibilities between central authorities and local government representatives.
The Cabinet’s plan is for each region to independently assess the needs of internally displaced persons and develop realistic construction plans.
This will allow for a move away from the chaotic allocation of resources and the creation of a transparent digital system for tracking and financing projects.
This was officially announced by Deputy Prime Minister for the Reconstruction of Ukraine—Minister of Community and Territorial Development Oleksiy Kuleba.
