Ukraine’s “єОселя” Housing Program expands Eligibility to Mobilized Soldiers
Ukraine’s state-backed housing program, “єОселя” (eOselya), is expanding its eligibility criteria in 2026 to include mobilized soldiers, in addition to career military personnel. This expansion aims to provide affordable housing options for those serving in the armed forces,offering mortgages with a remarkably low interest rate of 3% per annum. The program is a key component of the government’s social policy, designed to support those defending the nation.
Eligibility and Property Size Limits
While the program offers significant benefits, certain limitations apply to the properties eligible for financing:
- Apartments: Maximum size of 115.5 square meters.
- Houses: Maximum size of 125.5 square meters.
These size restrictions aim to balance accessibility with responsible use of program funds, providing a pathway to homeownership for many service members.
Program Performance to Date
as of late 2025, the “єОселя” program has already facilitated homeownership for 23,039 Ukrainian families. The total value of loans disbursed has exceeded 39.7 billion Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH), demonstrating ample demand. Notably, 11,185 of these loans were granted to members of the armed forces, highlighting the program’s particular appeal to this demographic.
“We are gradually adapting єОселя to the real needs of people,” stated Yuliia Svyrydenko, first Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy of Ukraine.
This adjustment underscores the government’s commitment to supporting soldiers and their families. Access to affordable housing is expected to boost morale and contribute to social stability. The program’s popularity also highlights the significant need for affordable housing in Ukraine, a critical factor in the country’s ongoing reconstruction efforts.
