Relationship breakdown between Ukrainian refugees and their host families could leave some refugees homeless. That was one of the concerns which emerged from a meeting of Salford's health and social care scrutiny panel.
Coun Arnold Saunders raised the issue, following up a report on the current refugee influx from a prior panel meeting. Salford city council has been allocated £10,500 for each approved arrival from Ukraine with hosts provided with a monthly 'thank you' of £350.
So far there have been 116 applications to be a host and 105 adults have arrived as well as 22 children. Three families have left the Salford scheme and more than four have suffered a 'relationship breakdown', the council heard.
