This is our first CO-HATY facility in the Vinnytsia region. In the former dormitory, we have created 13 apartments for long-term residence. The facility was transferred into community ownership.

The CO-HATY team re-planned the buildings into single or multi-room apartments for various families and a shared laundry room. We also developed the legal framework within which the facility will function as community-based social housing for the first time.

The community of Shypynky is interested in creating more comfortable conditions for IDPs already living in nearby settlements. They are ready to offer jobs in the agricultural sector to the new residents of this CO-HATY housing. The entrance to the building is inclusive.

UNHCR is our leading partner in creating this social housing model.
