Head of the Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA), Olena Duma, held a working meeting with the Head of the Kyiv City Military Administration (KCMA), Tymur Tkachenko. The main topic of discussion was the mechanism for transferring seized apartments to provide housing for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and citizens who lost their homes due to the war.

ARMA and KCMA are initiating the launch of a national social project—a large-scale initiative starting in Kyiv that aims to give new life to seized assets while simultaneously offering shelter to those in greatest need.

Currently, more than 3.5 million Ukrainians live in the capital, many of whom are internally displaced persons, including those belonging to socially vulnerable groups.

“Kyiv today is not just a capital—it is a pillar of support for Ukrainians who have lost their homes due to the war. We cannot leave these challenges unanswered. That is why the joint initiative with ARMA is an important step toward a systemic solution to the housing issue for IDPs and other vulnerable categories. KCMA is ready to participate in such projects because they offer concrete help to real people. Kyiv has all the necessary resources—it is critically important to use them wisely,” said TymurTkachenko, Head of the Kyiv City Military Administration.

The housing issue is extremely complex, but ARMA is already shaping a solution that could become the beginning of systemic change.

“We have developed a pilot model that takes into account the views of civil society stakeholders and the risks associated with managing seized property. These kinds of projects are not just about asset management—they are a response to a public demand and a challenge of the times,” emphasized Olena Duma, Head of ARMA.

Despite delays in passing draft law No. 11009, which is aimed at protecting military personnel, veterans, and their families, ARMA continues to work within the framework of existing legislation and implement real solutions.
