Terekhov: To keep people from leaving and to encourage their return, they must first be provided with housing
Ukraine needs an affordable housing program and an effective compensation mechanism for destroyed homes. This was stated in an interview with RBC-Ukraine by Ihor Terekhov, head of the Association of Frontline Cities and Communities.
“Today, the first thing a person needs is housing — it’s the foundation. No housing — no work. If a person does not feel safe, they will leave,” he emphasized.
Terekhov proposed creating a state operating company that would mobilize budget funds, private investments, and international financing for mass construction. Communities would be able to provide land and bring utilities. This would reduce the cost per square meter, create jobs, and develop subsidized mortgages, affordable rentals, and social housing.
