Northern Ireland is set to receive £2m to help Ukrainian families move into their own homes.
The money can be used by councils to help Ukrainian families into the rental market, to get jobs and sponsorship for their second year in the UK. Northern Ireland Office minister Steve Baker said: "This funding will provide invaluable comfort and support to Ukrainians seeking safety in Northern Ireland and across the UK by helping them to find their own accommodation and employment.
The government said almost half of working-age Ukrainians who have come to the UK are now in employment.
