Carlow council seeks unoccupied homes to accommodate Ukrainian refugees

Carlow County Council is seeking unoccupied properties to provide temporary accommodation to Ukrainian refugees. 

A tax-free recognition payment of €800 per month is available to interested parties. 

According to the Central Statistics Office (CSO), approximately 70,000 Ukrainian people who have fled the war in Ukraine have come to Ireland. 

The CSO's latest 'Arrivals from Ukraine in Ireland' series shows a total 10,153 hosts are currently in receipt of the Accommodation Recognition Payment (ARP) with arrivals from Ukraine living in their accommodation. 

One hundred and fifty one of these hosts are located in Carlow, with 473 in neighbouring Waterford, and the largest allocation of 2,417 in Dublin. 

The figures for ARP may also include accommodation obtained via the 'Offer a Home' scheme, Irish Red Cross (IRC) pledges and privately arranged accommodation.

As of February 9, 2023, 6,482 arrivals from Ukraine were living in IRC/DCEDIY pledged accomodation and 944 were living in accomodation under the 'Offer a Home' scheme.
