Information for hosts

Ukraine Family Visa Scheme

If members of your family have arrived as part of the Ukraine Family Visa scheme, there are several local organisations, which can support them to settle into the area. You can find information on our website.

Council Tax

If you have a discount on your Council Tax account, this won’t be affected if your guest lives with you in your home.

If you have provided them with a self-contained property for their sole use, the property will be exempt from Council Tax.

You should tell us about guests who have moved into your home using our online form.

Housing

If your current accommodation is no longer suitable, there are a few options for you:

  • our homelessness support can help you find a property to rent; you can find more information on our website
  • you can also find other properties in the area to rent privately.

People who arrive in the UK through the Ukraine Family Visa scheme will be able to access all benefits, including housing benefit, where there are housing costs.
