On August 31, 2021, the second random selection of loan recipients from among the candidates included in the Register for participation in the program "Housing for internally displaced persons" took place in the central office of the State Fund for Support of Youth Housing Constriction.

Once again, 150 candidates were randomly selected from among the citizens registered in the project.

Reference.

The project "Housing for Internally Displaced Persons" is implemented jointly by the Ministry of Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine, KfW, Frankfurt am Main and the State Fund for Support of Youth Housing Construction. To finance the project, the German government through KfW provided a grant of 25.5 million euros. The recipient of the funds is the Ministry of Reintegration; the Project-executing Agency (PEA) is the SFYH. On May 17, the receiving of applications of citizens who would like to obtain a loan for the purchase of housing had started.  

This project became possible, in part, due to the successful implementation in 2019 by the SFYH together with the Ministry of Communities and Territories of Ukraine of a pilot lending program for IDPs and ATO participants at 3% per annum. According to Oleksiy Chernyshov, Minister of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine, “housing provision remains one of the most pressing social issues in Ukraine and is especially relevant for internally displaced persons. More than 18,000 such families are registered in the open electronic registers of participants in the SFYH programs alone, and cooperation with KfW and the Ministry of Reintegration is extremely important in the context of resolving this issue.”

Under the terms of the Housing for Internally Displaced Persons Project, IDP loans will be provided for up to 20 years at 3 percent per annum, based on the standard (normative) housing area (21 sq. m. of total area per person and an additional 10.5 sq. m. per family).

Real-estate objects of credit can be an apartment in a multiple-apartment building or a house, commissioned no more than 35 years ago or renovated no more than 25 years ago.
