Introduction. The study of scientific and methodological approaches to financing affordable housing in the context of the ongoing armed aggression should contribute to the implementation of an effective economic policy to consolidate the efforts of public authorities, business, the public sector, charitable and volunteer organizations, international donors to solve the problems of internally displaced persons. In our country, the accommodation of IDPs in the places of resettlement was considered as a temporary need and was carried out with the belief that the military conflict is a small-scale phenomenon, so it was generally limited to state assistance for rental housing and settlement in modular towns. Most of the measures taken by the state so far are reactive measures that do not correspond to the current situation of geopolitical confrontation. The study of theoretical and empirical aspects of the implementation of state and regional programs of the so-called “sustainable settlement” requires the development of the affordable housing segment with the involvement of market, state and mixed financing mechanisms.The purpose of the study is to substantiate the theoretical concept and methodological provisions for assessing the organizational and legal framework for financing affordable housing for internally displaced persons using information and communication technologies. The research methods are based on theoretical generalization, systematization, dialectical method of scientific knowledge of economic phenomena and migration processes, which made it possible to reveal the problems of market, state and mixed mechanisms of financing the development of the affordable housing market for internally displaced persons, to develop an information system of economic and legal principles of functioning of the investment and construction consortium, which provides the use of several scenarios for the formation of the structure of sources of financing of the project for affordable housing and, accordingly, minimizes crisis situations.The results. The methodological foundations of market, state and mixed financing mechanisms for the development of the affordable housing market in the post-war period have been studied. The peculiarities of the national program for providing affordable housing for internally displaced persons were analyzed and its strategic directions were determined, taking into account the possibilities of donor support. The expediency and conditions for creating an investment and construction consortium involving legal entities, individuals, non-profit organizations and public entities are substantiated and an information system is developed. Attention is focused on the peculiarities of coordination of cooperation between state and non-governmental institutions, simplification of the provision of public administrative services for IDPs, attraction of funds from international donors for the implementation of integration projects of affordable housing for IDPs.Prospects. It is important to focus further research on increasing the efficiency of financing the integration projects of affordable housing and the construction of specialized social villages, taking into account the structural features adapted for the residence of families that include persons with disabilities as a result of the war.
