As of December 30, 24 owners and co-owners of apartments destroyed during the September missile strike in Lviv have received financial compensation to purchase new housing. The total amount paid from the city budget is UAH 37.2 million.
Which Apartments Were Destroyed?
The September 4 strike damaged 189 buildings in Lviv. Three buildings on Brativ Mikhnovskykh Street (Nos. 37, 38, 40a) were deemed beyond repair. These housed 20 apartments, leaving their residents without homes.
“To assist the victims, we approved a compensation program allowing residents to receive funds for new housing,” said Lviv First Deputy Mayor Andriy Moskalenko.
How to Apply for Compensation
Compensation is granted to apartment owners or co-owners. The amount is calculated as follows: the area of the destroyed apartment is multiplied by the state-regulated cost per 1 m² and then by a coefficient of 3.
To apply, residents must submit the following documents to the Administrative Services Center (CNAP):
- Copy of passport.
- Copy of tax identification number.
- Proof of apartment ownership.
- Notarized commitment to terminate ownership rights to the destroyed property.
Applications can be submitted by the owner or one of the co-owners with notarized consent from others. The payment decision is approved by the executive committee.
Supporting Residents of Damaged Buildings
In addition to compensation for new housing, affected residents are receiving funds for rental housing. Restoration work on 189 damaged buildings is ongoing, funded by the city budget and charitable contributions.
