Implemented by the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine (MDCT), the HOME programme enables people whose homes have been destroyed to obtain housing certificates to purchase or rebuild a home.
The new loan will support the refurbishment of a historic campus building, improving safety, accessibility and energy performance while preserving its architectural heritage.
This new financing is specifically targeted at enabling micro-enterprises and social economy entities to access the funding necessary to support job creation and preservation, focusing heavily on underserved rural communities that face the greatest barriers to conventional finance.
The CEB has approved 14 new loans totalling €1.2 billion for social investment across Europe. The financing targets key sectors including housing, education, healthcare and social inclusion, with significant support to Target Group Countries. Two additional loans for Ukraine bring total CEB approvals for the country to over €800 million since its accession to the Bank in June 2023.
