Ukraine - Assistance and accommodation
How the main accommodation and assistance measures offered in Italy have been reorganized
In 2025, significant changes took place in Italy regarding the opportunities available to individuals receiving public assistance following the war in Ukraine, due to key deadlines and modifications to the support measures introduced in 2022.
In particular, Decree-Law No. 202/2024 (Article 20, paragraph 2, letter b) introduced a revision of the extraordinary assistance measures for individuals fleeing Ukraine due to the war that began in February 2022. The "subsistence allowance", originally introduced by Decree-Law No. 21/2022 (Article 31, paragraph 1, letter b), was discontinued in light of the protracted nature of the crisis, while more stable forms of assistance and reception were reinforced.
The law, along with Implementing Order No. 1123 of December 29, 2024, established that the subsistence allowance could no longer be granted to holders of a residence permit for temporary protection issued after January 31, 2025. Consequently, the deadline to apply for the final of the three monthly installments was set for April 20, 2025.
