A new housing approach could reshape support for Ukrainians who lost their homes, but the first test will have to pass several practical stages.
This was reported by the Minister of Social Policy, Family and Unity, Denys Uliutin, on Facebook.
Ukraine plans to test a Swedish technology for the rapid construction of affordable, energy-efficient housing. This approach is being considered as one option for providing long-term housing solutions for people who lost their homes due to the war.
Denys Uliutin, Minister of Social Policy, Family and Unity, said on Facebook that the initiative involves modular construction based on Swedish technology. It could become the foundation for the development of social housing in Ukraine.
We are seeking long-term housing solutions for people who have lost their homes. One of them is the rapid construction of affordable, energy-efficient housing using Swedish technology

Pilot Modular Home in Ukraine
Deputy Minister Tetiana Kiriienko visited a modular home manufacturing facility in Sweden and learned about the principles behind this technology. The Ukrainian and Swedish sides agreed to establish a working group to prepare for the implementation of a pilot project.
The first stage will involve constructing a test house. It will be used to assess the entire process, from adapting Swedish technology to Ukrainian requirements through to commissioning the completed facility.
The following processes are to be tested during the pilot project:
- adapting modular construction technology to Ukrainian standards and needs;
- preparing the land plot;
- importing housing modules;
- assembling the house;
- connecting it to the necessary utility networks;
- commissioning the housing.
If testing confirms the effectiveness of the model, the Swedish rapid construction technology could be scaled up to create social housing in different regions of Ukraine.
Preparing Social Infrastructure for Winter
A separate agreement was reached with the Swedish Aid Center charitable foundation to strengthen cooperation ahead of the winter period. The partnership includes ensuring an uninterrupted electricity supply for social infrastructure facilities.
Meanwhile, Ukrainians continue to use the eOselia program. Since the beginning of 2026, more than 5,000 people have received preferential loans to purchase housing under the program. The total amount of loans issued has reached UAH 10 billion.
The pilot implementation of Swedish modular technology is expected to show whether modern, energy-efficient housing can be built quickly and systematically in Ukraine for those who need a new home.
