Hosting and Arrival

The Homes for Ukraine scheme allows Ukrainian citizens to be hosted by British families. Under the scheme, Ukrainians will have leave to remain in Britain for three years with the right to work, receive benefits and access to health care. 

Homes for Ukraine matches sponsors in the UK with people from Ukraine.
