This document outlines a project to reform Ukraine's state housing policy. It proposes establishing expert groups to analyze the current legal framework and develop a new Draft Law of Ukraine "On the Strategy of State Housing Policy" over 24 months. The draft law would bring Ukraine's legislation in line with international standards, ensure equal access to housing, and address issues like dilapidated housing and internally displaced persons. The project has a budget of 70,000 euros and would involve partners from government, NGOs, and experts.
