More than 1,700 Ukrainian refugees have been welcomed to Nottinghamshire since the Russian invasion began. The Homes for Ukraine scheme offers British families the chance to house Ukrainians fleeing the ongoing conflict.
Conservative-led authority Nottinghamshire County Council said as of December 1, 1,707 people in 1,201 groups have been hosted by 786 sponsors under the scheme. The local authority receives £10,500 per guest from the Government.
The Homes for Ukraine scheme was launched in March 2022 by the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
