Ukraine plans to build 6,000 to 8,000 apartments for displaced individuals, offering rental rates at a reduced cost.

Ukraine is launching a significant project aimed at constructing social housing for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and improving the demographic situation. The first phase plans to build 6-8 thousand apartments in 15 cities, which will be available for rent at reduced prices.

As reported by the head of the Agency, Sergey Sukhomlin, in an interview with LIGA.net, the social housing will be new and ready for occupancy. The apartments will be owned by local communities, allowing tenants to pay below market rates. The project is inspired by European experiences, where communal housing is actively used to support the population.

"If we offer affordable social housing with a rental price, for instance, at 3000 UAH, it will enable a mother with a child to stay here, work, and build a future in Ukraine," said Sukhomlin.

The project is funded with 400 million euros sourced through international grants and loans. This will not only help resolve housing issues but also retain people in Ukraine. Following the first phase, an expansion is planned, aiming to construct up to a million apartments.

What awaits us?

The new buildings will be modern, energy-efficient, 5-10 stories high, featuring apartments with one, two, and three rooms. Local communities will select the projects, allocate land, and connect engineering networks. These will not be old Khrushchyovka apartments, but comfortable homes that meet contemporary standards.
