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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to help provide volunteers willing to host Ukrainian refugees with the names and details of refugees they could be hosting.

The initial phase of the Homes for Ukraine scheme is designed for sponsors with a named Ukrainian beneficiary. The second part of the scheme will provide the opportunity for sponsors without a named beneficiary. We are actively exploring ways in which we can build connections between UK Sponsors and Ukrainians that do not yet know each other, including working with NGOs. We are funding a pilot scheme for a digital matching tool and casework service that the NGO ReSet are testing. If successful, this could be scaled up at pace.
