UNHCR to Provide Financial Aid to Displaced Persons in Okhtyrshchyna: Eligibility and Payment Details.

Financial Assistance for Residents of the Okhtyrka Community

According to Novyny.live: The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has announced that residents of the Okhtyrka community in Sumy Oblast may receive a one-time cash payment of 10,800 Ukrainian hryvnias (UAH). This aid is intended for internally displaced persons and refugees who have not received similar assistance in the preceding three months. The UNHCR frequently provides such targeted support in regions affected by conflict and displacement.

The payment amount for 2026 will remain the same as it was in 2025. The aid is calculated to cover a three-month period, and recipients must meet specific criteria, including a per-person family income not exceeding 6,320 UAH.

How to Register for Assistance

Local residents can register for the cash assistance at a mobile data collection point operating in the Okhtyrka community on January 27, 2026. Registration is also available by phone at 063 182 68 38.

Vulnerability categories eligible for this support include:

• Single-parent families with children under 18,
• Families with elderly members,
• Households with single elderly persons,
• Families with members who have a registered disability.

These measures are aimed at supporting those most in need of financial help amid a challenging socio-economic situation.

This UNHCR cash assistance represents a crucial step in supporting vulnerable populations, particularly those impacted by conflict and economic hardship.

The program provides an opportunity for social support to families facing difficult circumstances, underscoring the need to maintain social stability in the region. Registration via the mobile data point is designed to simplify access to financial support for those who need it most.
