OVERVIEW:
The war in Ukraine has damaged or destroyed more than 2 million housing units, according to the third Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment, and consequently left millions of Ukrainians in need of various forms of housing support. Through its shelter and housing assistance, UNHCR supports:
▪ People in areas that continue to be directly affected by hostilities and need rapid support for urgent repairs on housing.
▪ People who have either remained in or returned to damaged housing in war-affected areas and who need support with house repairs.
▪ People in situations of protracted internal displacement who need accommodation for the medium to longer-term.
UNHCR’s Emergency Shelter and Housing Programme in Ukraine: The programme aims to ensure that the most vulnerable among people affected by the war, whether displaced, remaining at home or having returned from displacement, have access to housing. In the sixth round of UNHCR’s Intention Survey, internally displaced people raised access to housing along with access to livelihoods opportunities as key enablers of sustainable and dignified return. UNHCR adopts approaches taking the local contexts into account and includes support that contributes to recovery and durable solutions.
