The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved changes to the Procedure for the functioning of temporary accommodation for internally displaced persons. The decision strengthens the protection of IDPs’ rights, improves the quality of services, and makes the rules of residence more transparent and understandable.
Minister of Social Policy, Family, and Unity of Ukraine Denys Ulyutin emphasized that a temporary accommodation for people who have left their homes due to the war should become a safe and comfortable space with clear and fair rules. According to him, the approved changes strengthen the protection of IDPs’ rights, make procedures more transparent, and take into account modern challenges.
The government has introduced mandatory monitoring of premises before they are included in the list of temporary accommodation. This mechanism will ensure that facilities meet the established requirements and provide decent conditions for people.
In particular, the procedure for concluding and extending agreements for the use of residential premises has been clarified. The government has regulated the grounds and procedure for terminating such agreements, which strengthens legal certainty and protects the rights of residents.
For internally displaced persons who, for certain reasons, do not have documents that confirm their identity, the period of temporary residence has been extended until the necessary documents are issued.
Some changes relate to guarantees for residents in case of relocation. From now on, internally displaced persons must receive timely written notification of such decisions.
The document provides for measures to support the employment of able-bodied persons living in temporary accommodation. The government has also updated the monitoring tools for facilities, including the checklist form for assessing the condition and equipment of such places.
The approved decision continues to improve the system of support for internally displaced persons and adapts the mechanisms of temporary residence to the needs of wartime.
