Ukraine is preparing to create over 5,500 new places for internally displaced persons (IDPs), located in around 200 temporary accommodation centers (TACs). This was announced during a meeting on IDP issues, chaired by Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Iryna Vereshchuk.

Creation of new places for IDPs
According to the plans, additional places for IDPs will be established in various regions of Ukraine, including Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kirovohrad, Poltava, Cherkasy, Vinnytsia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, Ternopil, Zakarpattia, Rivne, and Volyn regions.
An important aspect of the arrangement is ensuring accessibility for people with limited mobility. In each TAC, a certain number of places will be designated for people with disabilities.
Support with furniture and repairs
The project not only involves the creation of new living spaces but also furnishing them with the necessary furniture to ensure comfortable living. Furniture will be provided for the arrangement of rooms and common areas. Additionally, small repairs will be carried out in some of these temporary accommodation centers if necessary. All costs will be covered by the Ukrainian Humanitarian Fund.
Project implementation
The project will be implemented by several public organizations and charitable foundations, including the Public Organization “Proliska,” the Charity Fund “Rokada,” the Charity Fund “Right to Protection,” the Public Organization “10th of April,” the Charity Fund “Smile UA,” and the Charity Fund “East SOS.” These organizations are actively working to arrange new living spaces for those affected by the war and to improve conditions for those already living in TACs.
Start of the new housing arrangements
It is expected that work to arrange new places for IDPs will begin in December 2024. This is a significant step in providing proper living conditions for internally displaced persons and supporting those in need due to war and internal displacement.
Conclusion
This project is an important part of the humanitarian support for internally displaced persons in Ukraine. It will help provide adequate living conditions for many people who have been affected by the war and support their adaptation to new living conditions.
