Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of the level of financial support for Homes for Ukraine hosts in the context of recent rises in the cost of living.

In recognition of their ongoing support amidst the rising cost-of-living pressures, all sponsors will receive an increased 'thank you' payment of £500 a month for guests who have been in the country for over a year. 'Thank you' payments will also be extended from 12 months to two years, so that guests who may not yet be ready to move into independent accommodation can stay in sponsorship for longer where sponsors are willing to extend arrangements.
