The project funding will be provided through loans and grants totaling 100 million euros
The Verkhovna Rada has ratified agreements with the European Investment Bank, paving the way for financing the construction of social housing in Ukraine. Draft Law No. 0403 received the support of 296 parliamentarians. This is reported by the portal PromPolitInform, citing information from the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, based on data from Міністерство у справах громад, територій та внутрішньо переміщених осіб України.
The adopted decision allows for the commencement of the practical phase of the project and the transfer of funds for the construction of housing facilities in territorial communities. The total financial package for the first stage is estimated at 100 million euros.
The investment is split equally: 50 million euros will be provided under an EIB credit line, and another 50 million euros are earmarked as grant aid. Communities will be able to use these grant funds for construction on a non-repayable basis.
Pilot stage parameters
At the initial level of the initiative, the construction of approximately 13–15 apartment buildings is planned. Locations for construction will be selected from 2–3 territorial communities. It is expected that more than 1,500 families will be able to improve their living conditions through this program.
The project targets internally displaced persons and other vulnerable groups. According to the Minister for Communities, Territories and Internally Displaced Persons of Ukraine Vitalii Bezgin, such a tool will not only provide people with housing but also implement European standards for energy efficiency and inclusivity.
Strategic cooperation goals
The Ministry is also working on forming a comprehensive system of municipal social rental housing. This is intended to serve as a foundation that will eventually be scaled up for implementation in other Ukrainian communities with the participation of international donors.
The respective agreements were officially signed on June 25, 2026, during the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC2026) held in Gdansk. The project aims to create a transparent mechanism for managing the housing stock and promoting social integration of residents.
