Project objective
Create conditions for the integration of IDPs into Trostyanets city hromada by setting up a complex of modular residential premises in the City Arboretum Neskuchne.
The relevance of the project
Although Trostyanets city hromada was under occupation in 2022 for more than a month and a significant part of its infrastructure was destroyed, now city’s authorities are making every effort to recover and ensure decent living conditions for IDPs.
Accordingly, one of the priority areas for the community is to ensure decent living conditions for internally displaced persons and residents whose homes were damaged due to the Russian invasion and occupation.
As of January 1, 2025, Trostyanets city hromada hosts more than 2000 IDPs, including:
- 1052 women, and 548 men (including 305 children), 58% of whom belong to vulnerable groups: 68 persons with disabilities, 361 persons over the age of 60, 112 unemployed individuals, and 305 children.
Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, people continue to seek refuge throughout the country, including in the Trostyanets community, fleeing from dangerous regions. These individuals are internally displaced and require appropriate living conditions and social services to facilitate their socialization and integration into the community.
Currently, the first phase of the IDP settlement construction has been completed in Trostyanets city hromada. It includes an administrative building, a dormitory (for approximately 80–100 people), a kitchen, and the potential to expand the complex to accommodate more residents. A centralized water supply system has been built. Local wastewater treatment facilities and a drainage system have also been constructed. By June 2025, the settlement will be connected to the central power supply system, after which it will be fully operational.
This project aims to build additional modular housing units as described below:
| № | Building name | Total Area (sq.m.) | Number of modular buildings | The number of residents in a unit of a modular building | Total number of residents | Cost of one modular building | Total cost, EUR |
| 1 | Hostel | 1154,07 | 1 | 100 | 100 | 1 331 006 | 1 331 006 |
| 2 | Two-storey Residential Building (Type 1) | 113,84 | 2 | 8 | 16 | 117 820 | 235 640 |
| 3 | Two-storey Residential Building (Type 2) | 178,00 | 1 | 10 | 10 | 184 283 | 184 283 |
| 4 | One-storey Residential Building (Type 1) | 60 | 3 | 6 | 18 | 62 032 | 186 096 |
| 5 | One-storey Residential Building (Type 2) | 30 | 2 | 3 | 6 | 31 016 | 62 032 |
| Total | 9 | 150 | 1 999 057 |
