Where can I go to find emergency/short-term housing?

As a person who is under temporary protection in Croatia, you can be accommodated in a shelter center for displaced persons - the stay here is short-term, usually up to 48 hours, and here you are provided with overnight accommodation, food, Internet connection, psychosocial and medical assistance. After that, you will be offered a more permanent place of residence in one of the institutions of collective accommodation for displaced persons. More info.

You can also use the AirBnb mceclip0.png and Booking.com mceclip0.png platforms to find short term accommodations.

Can I access public housing or housing provided by the state? How and where do I apply for public housing?

Once you are granted asylum you will be entitled to two years of subsidised housing/accommodation provided by the state. Your Integration Officer will provide you with all the necessary information, while this right will be enabled through your Centre for Social Welfare and Central State Office for Reconstruction and Housing Care.

You may be accommodated in a collective housing facility for displaced persons - this is a more permanent form of accommodation, in which you are provided with housing, food and Internet connection.

How do I find long term housing?

You can rent a property privately on these sites:

EU4UA is a platform for finding housing in Europe together with other Ukrainians

A new roommate search function has been launched on the EU4UA platform.

If I am staying with friends and family in the long term, what documents do I need to fill out to make it official? How can I obtain proof of residency?

If a person is staying with friends or family, it will be necessary to contact police station in the place where you will be living. In that police station, a person has to file an application for temporary protection, which will include registration of address of temporary stay.

If the person does not want to file an application for temporary protection, it will be necessary to file an individual application for temporary stay.

To get the subsidy, you have to sign a contract with MUP. Information on how to deliver your housing offer, including information on the contract and the steps of the process, is available here mceclip0.png.
