“From now on, owners of destroyed housing have more opportunities to purchase a new home. If the cost of the new home they have chosen is higher than the amount provided for by the “єVidnovlennya” housing certificate, they can receive the remaining amount from the funds of the state mortgage lending “єOselya”, which can be used both on the primary and secondary markets,” explained Shulyak .

The majority of transactions – 92% – relate to the purchase of housing on the secondary market. The total amount of certificates used is UAH 1.8 billion.

What is known about the “єRenewal” program
The first stage of the “єVіdnovlennya” program started on May 10. At first, it was only about providing citizens with up to 200 thousand UAH for the restoration of premises that received minor damage. The money can be used to purchase building materials, pay for construction work, as well as contractor services.
In July, the Cabinet of Ministers regulated relations related to the payment of compensation to people who independently repaired war-damaged housing. And from August 1, it became available to process compensation for destroyed premises. Owners of such properties will be able to spend the funds on the purchase or construction of new housing.
Ukrainians who have repaired damaged housing under the “єRenewal” program can now submit a report through the “Diya” portal. Previously, the service was only available in the application.
