Ukraine plans to build social housing for internally displaced persons and other vulnerable categories of the population.
As reported by a UNIAN correspondent, the parliament ratified the corresponding agreement between Ukraine and the European Investment Bank (EIB). This decision was supported by 296 people's deputies.
According to the document, it is envisaged to attract EUR 50 million in loan and EUR 50 million in grant from the EIB. These funds will be directed toward the development of a social housing system.
The Minister for Communities, Territories and Internally Displaced Persons of Ukraine, Vitalii Bezghin, reported on Facebook that in this way more than 1,500 families will receive homes, and 13–15 apartment buildings will be built in pilot communities.
According to financial and economic calculations, in 2028 they plan to build 300 apartments (total housing area 16,500 sq. m), in 2029 – another 840 (46,200 sq. m), and in 2030 – 360 apartments (19,800 sq. m). The average area of one apartment will be 55 square meters.
The total cost of the project is EUR 100 million. It will be financed through loan and grant funds from the European Investment Bank, as well as co-financing from local budgets.
Overall, the program will be implemented from 2026 to 2030. The housing is intended for internally displaced persons (IDPs), low-income households and other vulnerable groups of the population, as well as representatives of critically important professions.
