Lincolnshire steps up! £1m funding to keep Ukrainian refugees housed
This significant sum recognises the additional pressures placed on councils and the specific needs of the Ukrainian guests as they transition from their initial arrangements.
Government guidance indicates that the grant seeks to ensure that Ukrainian guests can be supported to move into their own homes and reduce the risk of homelessness.The government expects the funding to be prioritised for supporting Ukrainian guests into sustainable accommodation, such as access to the private rental sector, supporting employment access, and facilitating ongoing sponsorship into guests’ second year.
Cllr Wright, Leader of North Kesteven District Council, welcomed the funding on behalf of the Lincolnshire-wide Resettlement Partnership. He said:"As hundreds of hosts across Lincolnshire continue to open their hearts and homes to accommodate displaced Ukrainian guests, and all the Lincolnshire councils continue to work in many and various ways to support both hosts and guests, this additional funding will be most welcome."With this new allocation, they aim to shape a local scheme that works across all areas to ensure Ukrainian guests continue to be supported in whatever ways are possible and most practicable.
