There Will Be No Refugee Centers in Poland — Who Will Lose Housing.

In Poland, from November 1, 2025, collective accommodation centers housing many Ukrainian refugees will start closing. Support will be provided only to pensioners, pregnant women, and people with disabilities. This was reported by Polskie Radio.

How Refugee Support Will Change in Poland

Government spokesman Adam Szlapka explained that other refugees will have the opportunity to use a program aimed at helping them find housing and learn the language to stimulate the integration of Ukrainians and reduce their dependence on state support.

Working-age Ukrainians were advised to find alternative housing by November 1. The Polish government refers to these changes as a new phase of support aimed at helping refugees adapt and achieve independence. As Adam Szlapka stated: 'The Ministry of Interior and Administration believes that now is the moment when this type of support can be discontinued'.

New Support Program for Ukrainian Refugees in Poland — What We Know

More than 6,000 Ukrainians living in collective accommodation centers in Poland do not belong to vulnerable categories and face integration issues. For such citizens, a special program 'Razem do niezależności' ('Together to Independence') has been prepared, which will be funded by the European Union (EU). The program provides assistance in subsidizing the rent of housing and paying for Polish language courses for Ukrainians.

Let us remind you that the European Union has agreed to extend temporary protection for Ukrainian citizens until March 4, 2027.

Starting November 1, 2025, collective accommodation centers for refugees will be closing in Poland, providing support only to pensioners, pregnant women, and people with disabilities. These steps are aimed at stimulating the integration of Ukrainians and reducing their dependence on state support. Working-age Ukrainians are recommended to find alternative housing by the end of October. A new program 'Together to Independence' has also been introduced for Ukrainians, which will be funded by the European Union and will provide assistance in subsidizing rent and paying for Polish language courses.
