The Ukrainian government has announced the continuation of support programs aimed at assisting internally displaced persons (IDPs) and those evacuating from border communities due to military actions by Russia. These initiatives include financial aid for living expenses, medical assistance, and housing solutions.
On May 12, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko reported that approximately one million IDPs receive monthly living assistance, with the government allocating 10.6 billion hryvnias for these payments since the beginning of 2026.
The Cabinet of Ministers has also expanded the categories of beneficiaries, allowing IDP children to receive aid regardless of their family’s income. The deadline for submitting applications at the Pension Fund offices or online has been extended to June 1, 2026.
Additionally, under the “eOselya” program, the state will cover 70% of the initial mortgage payment for IDPs and residents of frontline areas, as well as 70% of the loan repayments during the first year.
“We are also allocating an additional 40,000 hryvnias to cover all fees associated with mortgage processing. Over 2,500 applications are currently being processed,” Svyrydenko stated.
The government has earmarked 1 billion hryvnias in subsidies to expand and enhance temporary housing facilities, ensuring accessibility for all.
A nursing care service has been established for elderly individuals among the IDPs. Following their evacuation from transit centers, these individuals can be directed to medical facilities for recovery and receive medical assistance, psychological support, and social worker guidance for up to 60 days to help with their resettlement.
Furthermore, this year, the government simplified the process for providing temporary housing to IDPs. Non-governmental organizations and charities can rent accommodations for IDPs at a nominal fee of 0.01 of the calculated rental price.
The Ukrainian government has extended its support programs for internally displaced persons, providing financial aid, housing solutions, and medical assistance. These measures aim to address the ongoing challenges faced by those affected by the conflict.
