The project, which will see Shropshire Council purchase up to 30 properties for Ukrainian and Afghan families, was welcomed by members at a meeting of the full council.
The money will be match funded by the council through £3.2m of borrowing, with an additional £750,000 added to the pot from ‘section 106’ funds collected from developers. “Once the immediate need for these units for Ukrainian and Afghan families has passed, they will remain as affordable general use housing.Councillor Carroll also confirmed that 26 of the properties will be for Ukrainian families, while four will be for Afghan households currently staying in bridging hotels elsewhere in the West Midlands.
The scheme saw 380 sponsor homes across the county open their doors to around 700 people fleeing the Russian invasion which began a year ago last week.He said: “It’s good to see we are looking to make more provision than we are already doing for Ukrainian and Afghan refugees who are fleeing war and terror.
