Today, the Cabinet of Ministers has amended 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, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of 29 April 2022 No. 495.
The draft of the relevant document was developed by the Ministry of Reintegration pursuant to the Law of Ukraine No. 3446-IX of 8 November 2023 “On Amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On Ensuring the Rights and Freedoms of Internally Displaced Persons” on Certain Issues of Providing Internally Displaced Persons with Temporary Accommodation”.
This resolution is aimed at providing certain categories of IDPs with additional guarantees to prevent their forced eviction from temporary accommodation during the period of martial law and within 6 months after its termination or cancellation.
Thus, IDPs belonging to vulnerable categories of citizens will not be subject to the restriction on the period of residence provided for in paragraph eight of part 1 of Article 9 of the Law of Ukraine “On Ensuring the Rights and Freedoms of Internally Displaced Persons”.
These changes are aimed at strengthening the guarantees of legal and social protection of internally displaced persons.
