Homes for Ukraine refugee scheme launches in UK - BBC News

People across the UK are opening their homes to Ukrainian refugees as the government launches its Homes for Ukraine site.

89,000 signed up within the first day.

Housing and Communities Secretary Michael Gove said the UK had a history of "supporting the most vulnerable during their darkest hours".

He said there would be no limit to how many Ukrainians could enter the UK under the visa sponsorship scheme.

Each household housing a refugee will be offered £350 a month, tax-free.

They will not be expected to provide food and living expenses but can choose to offer this.
