Who can count on the aid and how to apply?


The assistance will be paid to Ukrainian refugees who have the PESEL UKR status and are living in collective accommodation centres.


Within the Programme Framework, Ukrainians will receive assistance for self-sufficiency - the funds will be paid as support to cover the costs of moving out of collective accommodation centres, for a deposit and to pay part of the rent. The money should also help people to buy furniture and equipment.


The payments will last for six months. The maximum amount of aid is 3.5 thousand PLN per family. Payments depend on the number of people:


- A room for one person - up to one thousand zlotys;

- House/apartment for one or two people - up to 2.2 thousand PLN;

- House/apartment for three or four people - up to PLN 2.8 thousand;

- House/apartment for five or more people - up to PLN 3.5 thousand.


You can fill in the application form at the following links: from the Red Cross - here, Fundacja Polskie Centrum Pomocy Międzynarodowej - here.


We remind you! From 2025 Ukrainians with PESEL UKR in Poland can get a CUKR residence card, but not everyone will meet the requirements. Who will be able to use the new legalisation mechanism and what conditions must be met to obtain the document, read here.
