Since the Russian invasion began in February 2022, more than 125,000 Ukrainians have moved to the UK under the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
Thousands of Ukrainians came to the UK as part of a government programme Homes for Ukraine, are homeless or at risk of losing a roof over their heads. Sky News reported this on Wednesday, October 18, citing the National Audit Office (NAO).
It is indicated that about 8% of Ukrainians need housing assistance. They may be homeless or at risk of becoming homeless in the near future.
At the same time, the NAO said that the situation could be more complicated, because a third of the municipalities did not provide data on whether the Ukrainians living there needed housing.
However, as noted in the audit office, many municipalities are trying to solve the problem of temporary housing for Ukrainians.
“Local authorities have put in place a range of measures to protect people from homelessness, including the return of sponsorship funds and support to move into rented accommodation, and many will be given temporary accommodation for now ,” the report said.
It was previously reported that Germany intends to cut aid to refugees.
