according to the lt/spangtlti style="color: black font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gtUkraine Rapid Damage and
Needs Assessmentlt/igtltspan style="color: black font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gt. As winter weather approaches, those who are living in substandard
housing will face serious, life-threatening cold temperatures in their homes.
In addition, attacks on energy infrastructure, water and gas systems – like
those witnessed last winter – threaten to further aggravate the situation for
those living in substandard housing. Internally displaced
persons (IDPs), non-displaced persons in conflict-affected areas, returnees,
and host communities will be particularly impacted, especially persons with
compounding vulnerabilities such as people with disabilities, elderly people,
women and children, and others. The lack of adequate shelter combined with heating
issues threatens to cause further loss of life and displacement among these
groups of affected people.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltp style="" class=""gt

people living in substandard housing in ltbgtChernihivska, Sumska, and Khersonska oblastslt/bgt
through the ltbgtprovision of home heating appliances, solid fuel, and repairs to
improve home insulationlt/bgt. Specifically, the program will seek to directly
address the compounded needs of ltbgt1800 people – especially people with
disabilities, older persons, women and children, and other vulnerable people -

and its partners through needs assessments, secondary data analysis, and
coordination with local governments, the local communities involved, the SNFI

a sub-implementing national partner, the Ukrainian NGO District 1, to implement
the program, utilizing District 1’s existing relationships, networks, proven
quality of work and presence in the oblast.
