Welsh Government Calls For More To Open Their Homes To Ukrainian Refugees

The Welsh government says it is “vital” more people open their homes to Ukrainian refugees.

Social Justice Minister Jane Hutt says around 2,800 Ukrainians are living in Wales with host families who signed up to offer accommodation for at least six months.

Social Justice Minister Jane Hutt said: “We hope hosts and Ukrainians will agree to extend many of those placements, but we need additional hosts to support those who cannot continue living where they are”.

A survey by the Office for National Statistics suggested around a quarter of hosts expected their guests to leave after six months.

The plea for more hosts comes at a time of mounting costs.

However, Minister Hutt said Wales had shown its generosity.
