Ukraine initiative: Critical need for Christian landlords and homeowners

Ukraine have been at war with Russia since 2022

The charity Welcome Churches has issued an urgent call for Christian landlords to take in refugees and asylum seekers  saying the UK church has a particular responsibility.

Recently launching its Welcome Homes initiative, the charity said more than 9,000 refugees – including Afghans and Ukrainians - are living in ‘halfway hotels’; with more than 3000 facing homelessness.

This figure, the charity warned, is expected to rise this year as thousands of Ukrainians in the UK reach the end of their 6-month sponsorship period. As of 31 January 2023, the government had issued 65,500 Ukraine Family Scheme visas.
