Odessa Displaced Residents See Resumption of 10,800 UAH Payments: Who Qualifies.

Financial Aid for Internally Displaced Persons

According to Novyny.live: In late March 2026, UNHCR Ukraine reopened registration for a financial aid program worth 10,800 UAH aimed at internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the city of Odessa. This initiative supports Ukrainians who have relocated from high-risk regions or returned to their former place of residence. A key requirement is that a family's monthly income must not exceed 6,300 UAH.

Vulnerable Groups and Eligibility Conditions

Priority is given to the following vulnerable categories:

• Single-parent families
• Households with elderly members
• Families including persons with disabilities

To apply for UNHCR Ukraine payments, several conditions must be met. Applicants must not have received aid from other funds in the past three months and must provide proof of their vulnerable status.

Applications are submitted via an online form. The UNHCR office in Odessa is located at 103-a Staroportofrankivska Street and is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Beyond the Odessa program, a separate application window for IDPs in the Sumy region will open on March 24, 2026. Additionally, a similar 10,800 UAH financial aid package is available in Chernihiv Oblast.

Furthermore, until March 31, 2026, People in Need Ukraine is offering financial grants of up to $4,000, subject to specific eligibility criteria. In late March 2026, a housing rental subsidy program will also launch in Poltava, with a per-person income cap of 8,422 UAH.

This UNHCR Ukraine initiative represents a critical step in supporting internally displaced persons across the country, helping stabilize their lives amid challenging socioeconomic conditions.

Financial assistance from UNHCR Ukraine and other organizations is a vital lifeline for IDPs facing numerous challenges due to conflict and economic instability. These programs not only provide material support but also help individuals rebuild their lives and return to a sense of normalcy. The eligibility criteria are designed to ensure that aid reaches those who need it most, particularly the most vulnerable segments of the population.
