The scheme, launched in March this year, encourages UK families to volunteer to house Ukrainian refugees for a minimum of six months, as the war in Ukraine continues to separate and displace families.
Accommodation offered can be as simple as a spare room, but must be safe, free from health hazards, and have adequate access to kitchen and bathroom facilities.
