A person in need of assisted living or residential care services submits a written or electronic application to the local self-government authority at the place of residence or at the place of application. If they are unable to do this independently, they are assisted by a social manager.

At the same time, local authorities should identify persons who would be responsible for implementing the project and determine the needs of people who need these services.
The Fund for Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities is responsible for compiling a list of social service providers, project participants, and transferring budget funds to ensure the provision of services under the project.
Thus, no matter where a person in need of a service is, whether he or she has been forced to leave or relocate, he or she will still receive the services he or she needs, and they will be financed from the state budget.
Social services for residential care are funded by the state. To provide social services to more than 2,300 people, the state budget provides more than UAH 366.8 million for 2024.
It is also noted that the Ministry of Social Policy will draw the attention of international partners to this pilot project. Goal: to cooperate on the arrangement of housing for the provision of services.
