State and regional representatives agree to increase housing subsidy for refugees

Representatives of the Czech government and of regional administrations agreed on Tuesday that the state will contribute between 200 to 250 crowns per refugee for housing costs.

The decision is yet to be officially approved by the government as a whole. Subsidy payments such as these make it possible for regional administrations to rent private housing facilities such as hotels and lodging houses for Ukrainian refugees fleeing the conflict in their home country.
