The French government has announced a plan to pay €150 per month to French households which agree to host refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine.

On Wednesday, France's Minister for Urban Affairs and Housing, Olivier Klein, announced that "financial support" – which, according to the government, should benefit between 5,000 to 12,000 families – will cover the period from 1 April to 31 December 2022, and will be paid "subject to having hosted such beneficiaries for at least 90 days."
