Since February 24, 2022, United for Ukraine has successfully helped more than 12,000 people displaced from Ukraine due to the russian invasion. This temporary shelter program has been a great help to many, allowing them to find safe haven and facilitating their adaptation to new conditions abroad.
Now, thanks to the support of its partners Airbnb.org and PHINEO, UFU is renewing the program to continue to help Ukrainians. However, the program is open only to those who have not previously used United for Ukraine's housing services.
