The Government of Ukraine made an important decision aimed at protecting vulnerable categories of internally displaced persons. According to new amendments to the Procedure for the formation of housing funds intended for temporary residence, accounting and provision of such housing for temporary residence of IDPs, adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, eviction of these groups of citizens from temporary housing is now prohibited, according to Resolution of the CMU of April 29, 2022 No. 495.
This was reported by the official channel of the Ministry for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine.
This resolution is intended to provide certain categories of IDPs with additional guarantees regarding the prevention of their forced eviction from housing for temporary residence during the period of martial law and within 6 months after its termination or cancellation.
Thus, internally displaced persons who belong to vulnerable categories of citizens will not be subject to the limitation on the period of residence provided for in the eighth paragraph of part 1 of Article 9 of the Law of Ukraine "On Ensuring the Rights and Freedoms of Internally Displaced Persons".
It is noted that the changes are aimed at strengthening guarantees of legal and social protection of internally displaced persons.
The draft of the corresponding document was developed by the Ministry of Reintegration in accordance with the Law of Ukraine dated November 8, 2023 No. 3446-IX "On Amendments to the Law of Ukraine "On Ensuring the Rights and Freedoms of Internally Displaced Persons" regarding certain issues of providing internally displaced persons with housing for temporary residence".
