Hosts of Ukrainian refugees now able to apply for financial assistance

From Monday it is possible for people in the Czech Republic who provide free accommodation to Ukrainian refugees to apply for financial assistance. The state will provide CZK 3,000 per person per month to help the hosts meet the costs of putting guests up.

The condition is that refugees spend at least 16 days a month at the home of the benefit recipient.

The government approved the move in March and the assistance can be accessed via a special Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs app.
