Step 1.
For Ukrainian newcomers
Якщо ви прибули з України по програмі CUAET та потребуєте тимчасове житло,
зробіть Крок 1 - заповніть нашу форму реєстрації (Форма прийому для українських сімей). Тільки після заповнення форми ми з вами звяжемося щодо пошуку необхідного житла.

If you have arrived from Ukraine under the CUAET program and need temporary accommodation, take Step 1 - fill out our registration form (Intake Form for Ukrainian Families). Only after completing the form, we will contact you regarding the search for the necessary accommodation.
Donate Financially as well Furniture
We need financial donations to make sure families get housing even when they can't afford it. We also need furniture donations and household items to make Ukrainians feel more as at home.
Hosting
We are always looking for people willing to open up their homes to Ukrainians fleeing the war. Some hosts have a sofa bed and can offer emergency hosting only, others have a spare room and are able to host for longer periods. Complete our application form to speak with a volunteer.
Volunteer
We currently need assistance with coordinating donations, fundraising and ensuring we have enough people to help with the settlement of Ukrainian guests. We believe strongly that in order to ensure these families get off on the right foot they need to feel like they belong.
Rentals
We are looking for landlords or people able to rent space that understand Ukrainians families will not be able to show a credit history, will most likely not have employment right away, and may not speak English.
