From January 29, internally displaced persons will be able to apply for a subsidy, which will be allocated by analogy with a housing subsidy to those families who are most in need of financial assistance. About this said in a statement from the Ministry of Social Policy.
"The rental subsidy is an important tool for supporting IDPs, as it will take into account both the financial ability of each family to pay rent for housing and the difference in the cost of rent in different regions of the country. This will also allow not only to help the family financially, but also to protect them legally, as the rental agreement will protect against unjustified price increases or evictions without grounds. And what is important: the tool also provides protection for the landlord from non-payment of rent or utilities." – emphasized the Minister of Social Policy Oksana Zholnovych.
Who can benefit from the subsidy?
Internally displaced persons who left the regions occupied by the Russian Federation or from combat zones and do not have their own housing in relatively safe regions of Ukraine, and their housing is destroyed or uninhabitable, want to rent individual housing, but do not have enough funds for this, rent housing and spend a significant part of their income on it
Important: a housing rental subsidy will be provided provided that:
- the tenant and the landlord are not related by family ties;
- the tenant does not receive housing assistance for IDPs from the state;
- The landlord of the premises no longer receives compensation for it under the Shelter program.
At the same time, an IDP family can simultaneously receive both a rental subsidy and a subsidy for housing and communal services.
How can I apply for a rental subsidy?
- offline - at the nearest PFU service center or administrative services center;
- online - through the PFU electronic services portal or mobile application (using an electronic signature, which must be present for both the homeowner and the IDP).
What documents will be required?
- rental agreement (according to the established form);
- statement (according to the established form);
- if necessary, copies of documents confirming the authority of the legal representative, guardian, custodian, parents-educators or other documents confirming any special circumstances.
The documents are submitted personally by the homeowner and the internally displaced person. However, if the homeowner lives in another region or abroad, you can use the electronic form for submitting documents via e-services web portal or the PFU mobile application (using an electronic signature).
In addition, the application and rental agreement can be signed on behalf of the homeowner by his legal representative based on a power of attorney.
