Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovy met with families who lost their homes due to a Russian missile attack. There are approximately 60 such families. The meeting took place the day before, July 7, at the Ukrainian Catholic University. All relevant deputy mayors were also present here.
As Mayor Andrii Sadovy reported, the destroyed buildings, which are architectural monuments, will be restored. And while the work continues, the city takes care of the people who were affected.
In particular, the city will help with temporary housing: it will allocate funds for temporary apartment rent. It will also help to find accommodation for temporary accommodation. People will also receive financial assistance from the city. What will be the amount of assistance will be determined in the near future after studying the situation of each family separately.
“The buildings that have been damaged are architectural landmarks of local importance and will be fully restored. We are starting this process immediately and will do it as quickly as possible. Each person who lived there will receive a turnkey apartment. If we are talking about furniture and other things, then each family will also receive financial support for decent living. But it won’t be tomorrow. It takes time to rebuild everything.
Currently, we offer the following options: you can live in a UCU dormitory for a month. Until then, each family must find housing to rent, and the city will compensate for this. If necessary, we will help you find housing for rent,” said Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovy.
Those families whose homes have windows or doors damaged will also receive appropriate compensation for their replacement.
Also, the city assumes all obligations regarding the organization of burials of the dead.
“This is a tragedy that Lviv has not yet experienced in this century. This is a very big problem. We will help, we will be there for as long as it takes for each of you,” Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi assured the residents.
And already today, July 8, the first deputy mayor of Lviv Andriy Moskalenko met with those residents who were left without windows and doors.
He noted that 4 out of 17 houses were almost completely destroyed. Restoration work is ongoing there. Residents can continue to live in the remaining 13 buildings. However, more than 600 windows were destroyed in these houses. They will be replaced with wooden ones, since it is an architectural monument.
“Today, tomorrow and Monday, measurements are being taken to replace the windows. The production of windows will take about 2 – 2.5 weeks. After that, the installation will begin. Today, before the meeting, all window manufacturers agreed to make all terms as fast as possible.
Residents who have already ordered windows will be compensated for their cost
