50,000 Ukrainian Refugees Will Become Homeless in the UK Next Year

According to The Guardian, 50,000 Ukrainians might be homeless in the UK next year if the government’s initiative to link migrants with British families fails. The opposition wants the government to increase compensation to host families as the cost of living rises.

According to a study conducted by the Labour Party, the Liberal Democrats, and the children’s charity Barnardos, between 15,000 and 21,000 Ukrainians might be homeless by the winter, rising to more than 50,000 by mid-2023, according to the newspaper.

Since March, 83,900 refugees have come in the United Kingdom via the government’s Homes for Ukraine program, which pays British homeowners £350 ($411) per month to host refugees for six months. However, as of earlier this month, 1,330 Ukrainian households in England had left the scheme and were now homeless, including 385 single refugees and 945 families with children.

It’s unclear why these matches didn’t work out, but campaigners told The Guardian that some hosts signed up enthusiastically without fully understanding “the implications and consequences of this type of responsibility,” while others are discovering that, due to the rising cost of living in the UK, £350 per month is no longer enough to support new additions to the household.

A new wave of homelessness is scheduled to arrive in September, when the majority of six-month sponsorship arrangements end.

Lord Harrington, Minister of State for Refugees, has lobbied the Treasury to double monthly payments for those who can host refugees for more than six months, but the government has given no indication that it will act on his recommendations, prompting Harrington to appeal to British households to join the scheme.

While several campaigners who talked to The Guardian suggested the approaching catastrophe might be avoided with increased government funding, the bulk of sponsors aren’t driven by money. According to a recent government study, just a quarter of those leaving the plan after six months did so because they could no longer afford to participate, and only four in ten claimed that additional money would motivate them to stay.

The majority (58%) stated that they would only ever supply short-term lodging.

Nonetheless, Ukrainian refugees who arrived in the UK via the initiative were granted three-year visas. “The government’s pledge was three years, not six months,” pro-immigrant campaigner Kitty Hamilton told The Guardian. “The inference was that the invasion would terminate and the administration would have time to develop more substantive arrangements.” “However, nothing has occurred.”

As you can see, this isn’t about the money, the Britons are kicking them out probably because of their characters. Different cultures, different characters. We also interacted with many Ukrainians, got to know them and many are very pretentious and demanding. They want a lot of things for free, very entitled while offering nothing.

They don’t communicate much, they don’t clean the house, they don’t cook, even though most of them are women… its strange….. they just want everything done and for free also. Basically they don’t contribute to the household. They could make themselves useful, like maids or even lovers but they aren’t.

Their mind isn’t where they are now, wherever they are but their mind is at Ukraine as if tomorrow they will return home and right now they live in a hotel or something for just a day or two. They need to understand that this war could take years. America’s wars with Iraq, Afghanistan, took 10 years. Who knows how many years Russia’s war with Ukraine will last?

Ukrainians could easily fix this and ensure that they don’t get kicked out by living in the moment, try to adapt to where they are and integrate first and foremost in the family they live with and then secondly in the city and country they live in.
