More than 30 organisations have written to the Prime Minister amid concerns that the Homes For Ukraine scheme is being “quietly phased out”.
The scheme was introduced earlier this year to allow UK residents to sponsor a Ukrainian person or family to come and live in their home amid the country’s war with Russia. The groups are seeking assurance from the Government that the scheme will continue, after the Local Government Association (LGA) said it is “deeply concerned” about the growing number of Ukrainians presenting as homeless to their council.
Brits currently hosting Ukrainian refugees have said that they are keen to continue supporting the families they are hosting but have expressed concern over the scheme’s future, saying that they are worried support from the Government will not increase to match the rising cost of living.
