The government will purchase housing for medical personnel in frontline cities: who will receive the apartments

Expansion of the program for providing medical staff with official housing

According to Міністерство Здоров'я: The government is expanding the program for providing medical staff with official housing, allowing healthcare institutions to purchase housing for medical workers in the cities of frontline regions with funds from the state budget. This step is aimed at supporting medical staff who work in challenging conditions, particularly in areas affected by the conflict.

The main regions where official housing will be provided are:

• Donetsk region
• Dnipropetrovsk region
• Zaporizhzhia region
• Luhansk region
• Sumy region
• Chernihiv region
• Kharkiv region
• Kherson region

To implement the program, 100 million hryvnias is allocated in the state budget for 2026. Healthcare institutions will be able to use these funds to purchase housing, which will be an important step towards improving the working conditions of medical staff.

Maximum cost per square meter of housing

Regarding the maximum cost per square meter of housing, for Kharkiv it will be 1.75 times, while for Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kherson, as well as for large cities (with a population of over 300 thousand people) and suburbs of Kyiv and regional centers – 1.5 times. In cities with a population of 100 to 300 thousand people, the permissible price per square meter will be 1.25 times. These measures are intended to improve the living conditions of medical workers in frontline cities.

The introduction of the program for providing medical staff with official housing is an important step in supporting medical personnel who work in difficult conditions, especially in areas affected by war. It will not only improve housing conditions for medical staff but may also contribute to attracting new specialists to work in these regions, which in turn will enhance the quality of medical care. The expansion of the program also reflects the state's efforts to support the viability of medical institutions in frontline regions.
