Scottish Government funding
In 2025 to 2026 Scottish Government will provide £3.4 million to support staffing of local authority resettlement teams, which maintains the funding level provided the previous year. This funding has been made available to all local authorities to increase the capacity of their resettlement teams (or equivalent) for the support of Ukrainian and other displaced people, support for refurbishment costs for properties used to house displaced people, and to cover costs of supporting them to settle into local communities not already addressed by alternative funding sources.
More information relating to costs which can be claimed as part of the Scottish Government funding is in the ’Data flow and checks’ chapter.
Ukrainian Longer Term Resettlement Fund
The Ukraine Longer Term Resettlement Fund, boosts the supply of available accommodation to support the longer term resettlement of displaced people. By improving and bringing void homes back into use these homes are intended to temporarily rehouse Ukrainian displaced people for a period of up to three years.
More information including criteria for funding, costs and the application process can be found in the Ukraine Longer Term Resettlement Fund guidance.
