The Russian full-scale invasion inflicted unprecedented damage on Ukraine’s housing stock. Hundreds of thousands of homes have been damaged or destroyed, and millions of Ukrainians have lost their permanent residences, becoming internally displaced persons (IDPs). As the war enters its fourth year, reconstruction of housing has become one of the most urgent priorities — not only socially but strategically, for stabilising communities, restoring livelihoods and enabling return. In response to this crisis, multiple stakeholders — international financial institutions, the Government of Ukraine, regional authorities, and private and civil society actors — have mobilised a diverse set of programs aimed at delivering housing solutions. These include large-scale investment initiatives, state compensation mechanisms, municipal developments, and innovative mixed models with private partners. Below is an overview of the main programs and projects shaping the housing recovery landscape in Ukraine in 2025–2026, prepared by URE Club for Property Forum.

At CEE Property Forum 2025, one message cut through the discussion on technology and investment: data quality is no longer a technical concern, but a decisive factor in risk, returns and access to capital.
