According to the new head of the MMA, the first step will be to approve a program to support veterans and their families. Special emphasis is placed on providing Mariupol residents with housing.
Thanks to the President, together with the Government, we have started implementing the "My Home. Ukraine" initiative, within which we will build a modern residential complex in Bila Tserkva with 1000 apartments.
The team also plans to scale up the experience of the "YaMariupol" network, which has already provided over 264,000 consultations and provided social housing to 1,400 families. Vadym Boichenko emphasized that he now has all the tools for systemic assistance to IDPs and attracting international partners to new social projects.
