Sumy region has supported over 22 thousand Ukrainians: how the assistance centers work.

According to inkorr.com: In Sumy, there is a transit center for short-term stay, which has already received over 18 thousand evacuated individuals. The Resilience Center has also provided support to approximately 4.5 thousand Ukrainians. These establishments, which have already assisted thousands of people, were visited by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko and Minister of Social Policy, Family, and Unity Denys Uliutin.

Assistance at the transit center and the Resilience Center

According to information from the Ministry of Social Policy, the transit center of the NGO 'Pluriton' is designed for the simultaneous accommodation of up to 250 people. Thanks to the 'single window' principle, one can obtain IDP certificates, register for evacuation trains, arrange for financial assistance, and receive medical and psychological support here. A safe space with activities and art therapy has been created for children.

The Resilience Center, which has been operating based on the NGO 'Merezhyvo' since May 2024, has become a support for veterans, internally displaced persons, families with children, the elderly, and military families. Its team includes psychologists, social workers, and a manager. Since the beginning of 2025, over 6 thousand services have been provided here.

'The Sumy region today is a stronghold that withstands the blow of war. It is crucial for us that people have the opportunity to receive everything necessary here - from temporary shelter to free psychosocial support in the Resilience Centers,' said Denys Uliutin.

In Sumy, the transit center for short-term stay and the Resilience Center provide assistance to thousands of evacuees and representatives of vulnerable population groups. These establishments offer not only temporary support but also the opportunity to obtain necessary services and consultations in wartime conditions.

This initiative is an important step in helping people affected by the conflict, as it not only offers shelter but also support in adapting to new circumstances. Such centers become a real support for those who have lost their homes and need assistance in difficult times.
