Housing is a basic necessity for life.<\/b> It serves as a foundation: when it is secure, it provides stability and allows for progress. Having a home makes it much easier to endure difficult situations and find the strength to move forward: to psychologically recover from bombings, adapt to a new place, look for work, or plan for the future. That is why Caritas Ukraine, through its Shelter program, actively helps vulnerable Ukrainians to establish dignified living conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Without adequate housing assistance, the humanitarian situation in Ukraine will significantly deteriorate. This could eventually lead to a substantial outflow of Ukrainians to other countries in search of better living conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Relevance<\/span> of the Need<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to the <\/span>UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)<\/span><\/a>, in 2024, 263,000 people in Ukraine need housing assistance, 157,000 of whom are internally displaced persons (IDPs). The need for housing and non-food items in Ukraine is immense due to the widespread destruction of homes, loss of property, and damage to public service infrastructure. According to the Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA 2), 1.4 million housing units have been damaged. Moreover, the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam on June 6, 2023, which was not accounted for in RDNA2, resulted in 37,000 homes being damaged by flooding, 15% of which are beyond repair.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The largest volume of damaged homes is in Ukraine\u2019s eastern regions. The total cost of damage to the housing sector is estimated to exceed USD 50 billion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
