Housing in Ukraine

Given Ukraine's extensive reconstruction needs, it is important for the Ukrainian authorities and the international community to establish priorities. To support this process, the CEB, at the request of the Ukrainian authorities, commissioned a study on the country's social infrastructure needs.

The study will provide an overview of social infrastructure in Ukraine and focus on four key areas: affordable housing, including temporary housing solutions for internally displaced persons (IDPs), homes for the elderly, student housing and social service facilities.

For each area, the study will present the existing infrastructure stock, the legal and regulatory framework, and identify key stakeholders involved in social infrastructure development. It will also quantify investment needs over the next four years and identify priorities for reconstruction, based on a preliminary cost-benefit analysis of the prospects. The study, which is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2026, is funded by the Spanish authorities through the Spanish Social Cohesion Account.
