The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has banned the eviction of vulnerable categories of internally displaced persons from temporary housing. This was reported by the government's press service.

As noted, on March 29, the Cabinet of Ministers amended the Procedure for the formation of housing funds intended for temporary residence, accounting and provision of such housing for temporary residence of internally displaced persons, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of April 29, 2022, No. 495.

The Resolution is aimed at providing certain categories of IDPs with additional guarantees to prevent their forced eviction from temporary housing during the period of martial law and within 6 months after its termination or cancellation.

Thus, IDPs belonging to vulnerable categories of citizens will not be subject to the residence period restriction provided for in paragraph eight of part 1 of Article 9 of the Law of Ukraine "On Ensuring the Rights and Freedoms of Internally Displaced Persons".

According to the government, such changes are aimed at strengthening the guarantees of legal and social protection of internally displaced persons.
