Kyiv • UNN
The Ministry of Social Policy reported that it has developed a mechanism for paying rental subsidies for IDPs. The amount of the subsidy will be adjusted depending on the average cost of renting an apartment in the region, household income, and family size.
In the next two years, IDPs are going to receive a subsidy for renting housing. This was reported by the Ministry of Social Policy, UNN reports.
Details
The Ministry of Social Policy is developing a mechanism for paying subsidies to IDPs to pay for housing. It is expected that the program will be introduced in June this year and will operate for two years. However, the project is still being finalized.
The amount of the subsidy will be adapted to the cost of renting housing in a particular region or city. This means that the amount of the subsidy will take into account the difference in rental prices in places such as Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Zakarpattia, or in small towns.
In addition, the amount of the subsidy will be regulated depending on th
- number of people in the family that rents housing;
- household income;
- the ability to pay rent independently.
The subsidy for rent will be provided based on income: the lower the income, the higher the percentage of rent covered by the subsidy. Initially, this support will be provided to internally displaced persons. In the future, such assistance may be extended to other citizens in need of state support in this area.
