Recent government data shows nearly a dozen Ukrainian refugees have been left homeless in Nottinghamshire after placements broke down. Between Thursday, February 24, and Friday, June 3, councils in Nottinghamshire have helped at least eight households who fled the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The households, including at least single household and four with dependent children, found themselves facing homeless in the UK. There are two routes to help Ukrainians get visas to come to the UK, and these are The Ukrainian Family Scheme which allows applicants to join family members, or Homes for Ukraine, which allows people to offer a home to people fleeing Ukraine.
This could be someone they know or someone they have been matched with through the scheme. At least one placement through the Homes for Ukraine scheme has broken down to the point where council chiefs had to step in and the accommodation arrangement broke down.
