Why is it interesting?
As part of the European Union's Ukraine Facility plan, which allocates EUR 50 billion for the period 2024-2027, Ukraine receives financial support to meet macro-financial needs, including budgetary aid. To access this funding, Ukraine must meet specific criteria, one of which is the enactment of the draft law titled "On the Basic Principles of State Housing Policy."
In April-May 2024, Olena Shuliak, Head of the Committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on the Organization of the State Power, Local Self-Government, Regional Development and Urban Planning, in collaboration with the Ministry of Community Development, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine and "Institute of Republic" Public Association, conducted community consultations on "Modern and Effective Housing Policy." These consultations gathered feedback on the proposed initiatives from across Ukraine. The insights collected were used to develop recommendations for improving the draft law, which were then incorporated into the final report.
