General information

Description of the project

The military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has led to significant casualties among the civilian population, mass displacement of people, and large-scale destruction of housing stock, social infrastructure facilities, and enterprises.

The Buchanan urban territorial community suffered particularly significant destruction, with a large number of apartment buildings damaged or destroyed during active hostilities.

The project involves the design and major repairs (including restoration) of partially damaged apartment buildings (AHUs) within the Buchanan urban territorial community.

The project is being implemented within the framework of the “Housing Rehabilitation for the Restoration of People’s Rights and Empowerment (HOPE)” Program, which is aimed at restoring housing infrastructure in affected communities, returning residents to their homes, and ensuring safe, decent living conditions.

Main goal:

To restore residential premises, ensure safe living conditions for citizens, facilitate the return of residents to their homes, restore the community's housing stock and guarantee the implementation of the right to housing and a decent life in their own homes. The project's issues are significant damage to apartment buildings in the Buchanan community as a result of hostilities;

partial or complete unfitness for habitation, which led to the loss of citizens' housing rights and forced relocation; deterioration in the quality of life and social disintegration of the population due to the loss of homes;

limited financial capabilities of the community to independently restore housing in the short term; the need to bring residential facilities up to modern standards of safety, energy efficiency, inclusiveness and durability.

Expected results of the project implementation:

full restoration of partially damaged multi-apartment residential buildings in the Buchansk MTG; 

return of residents to repaired safe housing and stabilization of the demographic situation in the community;

providing housing for hundreds of families, including representatives of vulnerable categories;

improving the quality of housing conditions through the implementation of modern solutions for energy efficiency, engineering protection and inclusiveness; increasing the resilience of the community's housing infrastructure to future risks and emergencies;

creating a model of effective housing restoration that can be scaled to other communities in Ukraine. 

The purpose of the project

Main goal:

Rebuilding the damaged/destroyed

Secondary goal:

Improving the equality of wealth distribution, Improving the condition of infrastructure, Ensuring inclusiveness and equal opportunities

Description of the purpose of the project and ways to achieve it

Project Objective (English) The objective of the project is the restoration of damaged and destroyed multi-apartment residential buildings in the Bucha City Territorial Community, ensuring safe, energy-efficient, and accessible housing for all residents. Additional objectives: Expanding access to benefits and services: enabling residents to return and restore community stability; Ensuring inclusivity and equal opportunities: adapting housing and communal spaces to meet the needs of people with disabilities and vulnerable groups; Improving infrastructure conditions: restoring engineering networks, energy-efficient systems, and long-term housing infrastructure. Means of achieving the goal: Preparing design documentation for the major repair and restoration of apartment buildings; Conducting capital repairs, including restoration of structural elements, engineering systems, facades, and roofs; Using modern energy-efficient and safe construction materials, taking inclusivity into account; Supporting the return of residents and restoring the social fabric of the community.

Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation

Key issues: Destroyed and damaged housing: a significant part of apartment buildings in Bucha, Vorzel and other settlements of the community is damaged or destroyed (roofs, load-bearing walls, engineering systems, facades), which makes living impossible or dangerous. Insufficient community resources: Bucha MTG has limited capabilities to simultaneously restore a large number of objects. Non-compliance with modern standards: existing buildings do not meet safety requirements, sanitary norms and energy efficiency standards. Weak institutional capacity: local authorities are limited in planning and implementing large-scale restoration measures, which reduces the resilience of the community to crisis situations. Economic and social risks: damaged housing leads to the resettlement of residents, disruption of the social structure of the community and a decrease in economic stability. Why the problems are relevant now: The military aggression of the Russian Federation has caused significant damage to the housing stock, which makes it impossible for residents to return and the normal functioning of the community. Without the restoration of damaged housing, the risk of social disintegration and instability of the local economy increases. The lack of safe housing increases the risks to the life and health of residents. Expected positive changes after the implementation of the project: Restoration of the housing stock: return to living in renovated apartment buildings of a significant number of families in the community. Improvement of living conditions: safe, energy-efficient, inclusive housing that meets modern standards. Stabilization of the community: reduction of resettlement, restoration of the social and economic structure of the community. Increasing institutional capacity: strengthening the ability of local governments to plan and implement the restoration of the housing stock, including the preparation of regulatory documents. Economic effect: support for the construction industry, job preservation, effective use of state and investment resources. Scalability of the model: creation of an effective housing recovery mechanism that can be applied in other territorial communities.

Demand for the service and its dynamics

What methodology was used to estimate demand?

Оцінка попиту базувалася на: офіційних даних Бучанської міської ради щодо кількості пошкоджених та зруйнованих житлових будинків після бойових дій (акти обстеження, дані DREAM, Мінінфраструктури, Фонду відновлення); даних Державної служби статистики та Мінреінтеграції щодо кількості внутрішньо переміщених осіб (ВПО), які мають потребу у відновленні або забезпеченні житлом; оцінках загальної чисельності мешканців громади, які втратили житло або не можуть повернутися через аварійний стан будинків; аналізі заявок мешканців до місцевих органів влади та даних реєстрів пошкодженого майна (ДІЯ, DREAM). Оцінка виконувалася за поєднанням кількісного та якісного аналізу: проведено інвентаризацію багатоквартирних будинків із пошкодженнями (ступінь пошкодження, технічний стан, кількість квартир, що потребують ремонту); розраховано очікувану кількість мешканців, що можуть повернутися після відновлення (на основі середнього показника заселеності квартир — 2,8 особи/квартиру); визначено потужність проєкту як кількість відновлених житлових одиниць × середня кількість мешканців; підтверджено актуальність попиту через звіти ООН, UNDP, USAID, та інших донорських програм з відновлення.
