How many Ukrainian refugees who came to Wales under the Welsh Government’s super-sponsor scheme are currently homeless or living in temporary accommodation?
Answered by Minister for Social Justice | Answered on 20/09/2022
More than 5,300 Ukrainians have arrived in Wales under the overall Homes for Ukraine scheme. There are roughly equal proportions of those arriving directly into Welsh households (c2,700) and those first arriving into Welsh Government arranged initial accommodation under the Super Sponsor route (c2,600). Many of those arriving in initial accommodation will also move into hosted placements in time. Although we know that a number of Ukrainians have been able to secure Private Rented Sector leases, we do not collect data on this centrally.
