英国政府宣布大幅削减"为乌克兰提供家园"计划的资金1。根据2024年9月15日的议会书面声明,政府将从2027年1月1日起,将东道主的月度补助从350英镑降至100英镑,降幅达70%1。这一政策将影响181,000名通过该计划获得英国庇护的乌克兰难民1。此外,每位难民获得的总补助也将从5,900英镑减少至3,300英镑1。
自2022年2月俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后启动以来,该项目已吸收英国政府超过1.81亿英镑的投入1。然而,资金削减计划引发了难民和东道主的担忧。73岁的乌克兰难民Tetiana表示:"我无法工作,年纪大且行动不便。如果托管结束,我不知道去哪里,不知道如何重新开始。"1东道主Nataliya Rumyanetseva则指出,难民抵达时往往精神受创,如果托管变成商业租赁,这种做法将令人感到残忍1。
The UK government has announced a significant reduction in financial support for hosts participating in the Homes for Ukraine scheme, lowering monthly subsidies from £350 to £100—a 70 percent cut—effective January 1, 2027 1. The policy will affect approximately 181,000 Ukrainian refugees who have sought shelter through the program since Russia's invasion in February 2022 1. Per-refugee government grants will also decrease from £5,900 to £3,300 under the revised arrangement 1.
The funding reduction has prompted widespread concern among both hosts and refugees about the sustainability of accommodations. Tetiana, a 73-year-old refugee, expressed her anxiety about the scheme's future, stating: "I cannot work, I am old and not mobile. If hosting ends, I do not know where to go, I do not know how to start again" 1. Host Nataliya Rumyantseva criticized the approach, noting that refugees arrive traumatized and arguing that converting hosting arrangements into commercial rentals would be cruel 1. The government has invested more than £181 million in the scheme since its inception 1.
