Ukraine has a housing voucher program of 2 million UAH for certain categories of IDPs from temporarily occupied territories. We break down who is eligible, what restrictions apply in 2026, and how to apply.

A new IDP law No. 4924-IX has come into force in Ukraine, updating the registration system. Old certificates remain valid, but new grounds for deregistration without an application are introduced.

Pensioners who left the occupation can avoid annual identification by transferring their pension file to government-controlled territory in Ukraine.

The Cabinet allocated 26.5 million hryvnias to buy 53 houses for IDPs in rural areas across eight regions under the 2026 subvention framework.

Technical registry glitches threaten IDP subsistence payments. The Ombudsman's office helps restore legal rights through the Pension Fund.

Ukraine has about 4.6 million IDPs, but some data needs updating. The government is developing a Single Route to coordinate evacuation, housing, and jobs.

In an interview with RBC-Ukraine, Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov reported that the city currently has around 1.4 million residents, including 223,000 displaced persons, and does not recommend that those who left return due to security risks.

In Lutsk, Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terehov named four conditions – safety, housing, salary, and infrastructure – under which Ukrainians will stop leaving the country. He also called for creating a state housing provision program for IDPs and strengthening support for business.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has extended state assistance for internally displaced persons: the maximum number of six-month payment periods has been increased from five to six. For children in IDP families, the extension now occurs automatically.
