Ukraine Hosts, Derbyshire County Council

Dear Mr Gilbert,

 

Many thanks for contacting us.

 

With regards your query, whilst we can provide a summary breakdown of
funds received to support Ukrainian guests, would it be possible to
elaborate on the following;

 

‘Please provide details on the amount of funding received from central
government under the Homes for Ukraine scheme between 1 April 2022 – 31
March 2023’, as to what details you require.

 

Guests who enter the UK via the Family Visa scheme are not supported by
DLUHC and, as such, the local authority does not hold any information on
them.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Best wishes,

 

Jon
