Thousands of Ukrainian refugees in the UK are at risk of homelessness if ministers go ahead with plans to end funding for a scheme set up to help them, the National Audit Office (NAO), has said.
Homes for Ukraine was established in March 2022 following the Russian invasion. Almost 74,000 UK households have applied to host Ukrainian families, with hosts receiving payments of £350 a month in the first year and £500 a month in the second year.
However, funding and sponsorship arrangements for more than 130,000 people helped under the scheme are due to end next March. A report by the NAO found that many of these people face losing their homes when this funding ends.
Have you been involved in the Homes for Ukraine scheme – what is your situation now? Are you concerned about what might happen when the funding ends?
