Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what estimate he has made of the number of Homes for Ukraine sponsorships that will run for (a) six, (b) nine and (c) 12 months; what resources will be provided to councils to assist with supporting Ukrainian refugees following (i) the planned end of a sponsorship and (ii) any instances where a sponsorship ends early; and if he will make a statement.

The Government has set out plans which introduce a mechanism for local authorities to rematch Homes for Ukraine guests with new sponsors in certain circumstances. Councils should use the £10,500 tariff to meet all their associated costs (both for providing council services and for administering payments), including rematching costs.
