Over 3,500 military personnel and IDPs will receive housing support worth €140 million - Kuleba

More than 3,500 Ukrainian military personnel and veterans will receive support to purchase their own housing. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Vice Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine - Minister of Communities and Territories Development Oleksii Kuleba.

Details

The official noted: there is already a result thanks to work with the President of the Council of Europe Development Bank, Carlo Monticelli, regarding support for housing programs for people who lost their homes due to the Russian occupation. The dialogue began a year ago during the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome.

Now the Administrative Council of the Council of Europe Development Bank has approved two applications from Ukraine totaling 140 million euros:

• 80 million euros - to support the program "Housing for IDPs from TOT" within the framework of eRecovery;
• 60 million euros - for a preferential mortgage lending program for veterans.

The attracted 80 million euros will allow financing about 2,000 housing vouchers for internally displaced persons from temporarily occupied territories. Ukraine will receive the first tranche of 40 million euros as early as September this year. Another 60 million euros will be directed to providing housing for veterans

According to him, this is confirmation of trust in Ukraine and in the support mechanisms that are already working and delivering real results for people.

Thanks to preferential mortgages and the mechanism of revolving funds that are returned from already issued loans, this will allow providing over 1,500 affordable housing loans to our defenders

Reminder

Prime Minister of Ukraine Yuliia Svyrydenko reported that 3,000 families of internally displaced persons from temporarily occupied territories have already purchased housing under the state support program within the framework of "eRecovery".
