Ministry of Reintegration allocated almost UAH 60 million to regional budgets for compensation for accommodation of IDPs

Funds in the amount of UAH 59.9 million were allocated to provide an additional subsidy to local budgets to compensate institutions for free accommodation of internally displaced persons in January 2024.

This was announced during a meeting of the Coordination Headquarters for Ensuring the Rights and Freedoms of IDPs chaired by Vice Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk.

These are municipal institutions, state educational institutions transferred for funding from local budgets, and jointly owned institutions of territorial communities of the oblast and rayon, which are managed by oblast and rayon councils.

It should be noted that the Government allocated these funds from the reserve fund of the state budget. According to the relevant order of the Cabinet of Ministers, the Ministry of Reintegration directed them to local budgets to pay compensation to institutions that sheltered IDPs.
