Under the state programme eRestore, payments were made to the first 100 families who applied for compensation for the destruction of their homes by rebuilding on their own land.
The total amount of funds transferred was UAH 152 million. The average payment per family is UAH 2.2 million. The majority of applications came from Kyiv, Chernihiv and Kharkiv regions.
The programme is available to Ukrainians who have completely lost their homes and want to rebuild them on the site where the property was destroyed or on newly acquired land.
“It is crucial for the Ministry of Development to develop and expand compensation programmes for destroyed or damaged housing. As of today, almost 87,000 families have received compensation for damaged housing to restore it. At the same time, more than 7,600 families have already purchased new homes with compensation for destroyed housing.
This week, for the first time, the Government transferred funds to those Ukrainians who chose to receive compensation for destroyed housing in the form of reconstruction on their own land. The first 100 families have already received their payments. Soon they will be able to start building their new homes,” commented Oleksiy Kuleba, Vice Prime Minister for Reconstruction, Minister of Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine.
At the initiative of the Ministry of Development, an additional UAH 15 billion was allocated for compensation for IDPs at the end of last year, and as of today, 2,000 families have already purchased new homes by selling housing certificates. This service is available to Ukrainians with IDP status who have lost their only property. The service is available for destroyed housing on government-controlled territory or in the area of active hostilities. An important condition is to have a valid IDP certificate.
The eRestoration programme and the Register of Damaged and Destroyed Property were implemented by the Ministry of Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine and the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine within the framework of the Digital Transformation Support Project with the assistance of USAID and UK Dev.
