The National Agency of Ukraine for Finding, Tracing and Management of Assets Derived from Corruption and Other Crimes, in partnership with The Kyiv City Military Administration (KCMA), is continuing the systematic implementation of the pilot initiative “Apartments for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)”. The project aims to provide temporary housing for displaced persons using residential properties that have been seized and transferred into ARMA’s management.

A working group meeting was held at the Agency to discuss further implementation of the initiative. The meeting brought together representatives of ARMA, KCMA, and the  Ministry for Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine. The session was chaired by Stanislav Petrov, Deputy Head of ARMA.

“We have moved from a pilot launch to full-scale implementation. We already have the first 10 apartments in the capital that will soon be transferred to asset managers for occupancy by displaced persons. And this is only the beginning.

The next step is to scale the initiative to other regions, expand the list of available properties, and build an open and transparent model for their use. This is also currently in progress.

In wartime, seized assets must serve the state and those who have lost their homes,” emphasized Stanislav Petrov.

During the meeting, the parties discussed the procedures for organizing the competitive selection of residential property managers, the contractual framework, and the regulation of payment for use of the apartments.

“We continue to work on socially significant initiatives. Every such project is important to our fellow citizens. We will not turn a blind eye to the needs of internally displaced persons who have moved to the capital. We hear their concerns and find ways to resolve them,” added Ihor Reva, Deputy Head of KCMA.

As a reminder, “Apartments for IDPs” is the first socially focused project implemented through a partnership between ARMA and Stanislav Petrov, Deputy Head of ARMA. The initiative currently includes the transfer of the first 10 residential properties in Kyiv into asset management. The broader goal is to provide housing to IDPs in approximately 200 apartments across Ukraine.

By implementing state policy in the field of seized asset management, ARMA consistently advances a model in which every asset serves not only as an economic resource, but also as a tool of social resilience.
