The Cabinet of Ministers made changes to Resolution No. 495 of April 29, 2022, which approved the Procedure for the formation of housing funds intended for temporary residence, accounting and provision of such housing for temporary residence of internally displaced persons.
The relevant document was developed by the Ministry of Reintegration.
The adopted changes, in particular, provide that:
• The list of priorities for providing temporary housing to IDPs has been supplemented with new categories.
Now it includes, among other things, families of servicemen from among internally displaced persons; IDPs who were resettled due to the armed aggression of the Russian Federation. As well as IDPs from among the residents of the relevant territorial community, which provides residential premises from the fund, whose homes were destroyed.
• Local self-government bodies (LOGs) have expanded the possibilities of financing the housing fund intended for temporary residence of IDPs outside their jurisdiction. That is, the local government of the territories from which the IDPs moved will be able to participate in the distribution of housing stock in the host communities.
• From now on, IDPs can register as citizens who need housing for temporary residence, even if there is no such fund at the time of their application.
The specified document was developed based on the results of the work of the Coordination Headquarters on issues of ensuring the realization of the rights and freedoms of internally displaced persons.
Adoption of this decision will contribute to effective accounting and provision of housing for temporary residence of internally displaced persons.
