A grant of £70,000 is to be accepted from the government as Liverpool Council prepares to welcome more Ukrainian refugees fleeing war.
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) is awarding the local authority grant funding of £70,000 to support welcome points for refugees in the city. It was revealed earlier this week that a further 182 Ukrainians are expected to be resettled in Liverpool in the “coming weeks and months”.
DLUHC is providing grant funding to deliver the Homes for Ukraine scheme, with Liverpool Council receiving an initial allocation of £1.1m. A report to the council’s cabinet ahead of its meeting next Friday said further allocations will be received as and when further refugees are placed in the area.
