IDPs can apply for housing subsidies at their actual place of residence without a lease agreement. To receive assistance from the start of the heating season, documents must be submitted by November 30, 2026.

The Cabinet of Ministers has extended the IDP assistance program until February 28, 2027: November payments are made under previous rules, and some families receive them automatically. The Rada Budget Committee supported increasing allowances starting January 2027.

The Rada Budget Committee included in the Cabinet's instructions an increase in IDP assistance by 1,000 hryvnias from January 1, 2027. The amendments also expand the circle of recipients and abolish the requirement for in-person education for children. October payments will be funded on October 21.

Ukraine's Ministry of Social Policy announced that funding for IDP living allowances for October 2026 will take place on October 21, with card crediting within several days. Some displaced persons risk losing benefits due to register errors.

On September 17, 2026, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law allowing houses and dormitories to be rented for one hryvnia to resettle internally displaced persons. The document resolves a legal contradiction and is in effect until the beginning of 2028.

Internally displaced persons in Ukraine can recover part of the PIT paid for housing rent expenses by filing an annual return by 31 December. To confirm the right, a written rental agreement and a certificate of the absence of targeted assistance are required.

From October 22, 2026, IDP status in Ukraine will be confirmed by an extract from the Unified Information Database rather than a paper certificate. Until that date, the existing document remains valid, and the exact procedure for obtaining the extract will be determined by the Cabinet of Ministers.

IDP housing assistance continues to be paid on the 15th and 28th: 3,000 hryvnias to children and persons with disabilities, 2,000 — to others. Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 709 has strengthened control: in case of data discrepancies in the registers, payments are automatically suspended.

Ukraine has presented a bill on systematic support for IDPs: a comprehensive assistance pathway from evacuation to housing and employment, a new status, and expanded payments. The document will be refined in a working group.

From 1 August 2026, the principle of “one family — one mechanism of state support” is in effect in Ukraine: an IDP family can use only one housing program. Cabinet Resolution No. 723 deprives of the right to a voucher those who sold their housing or have already received assistance.

Internally Displaced Persons in Ukraine can recover part of the PIT for housing rent. To do this, you need to submit a declaration and confirm the absence of own real estate. From 2026, combatants will also get the right to a deduction. 🏠💰🇺🇦

From August 1, 2026, the rules for issuing housing vouchers for IDPs in Ukraine are changing. The Cabinet of Ministers has tightened requirements to direct assistance to those without housing. Some displaced persons may lose the right to support, and using a voucher as a mortgage down payment will only become possible after the adoption of a new law. 🏠📉

Utility debt does not always deprive the right to a subsidy. 🏠 We analyze the conditions under which assistance is still granted: from thresholds of 680 hryvnias to benefits for large families and IDPs. 📉💰
