Urgent local routes without promising a programme that does not exist.
What to check
- If you have no safe place to stay, contact the gmina/city through the official finder. Availability cannot be guaranteed without a local check.
- For Ukrainian citizens after 5 March 2026, collective accommodation is subject to separate narrow conditions; do not assume automatic entitlement.
- If a necessary fact is unknown, use the verification route rather than treating the condition as confirmed.
