The UK government has announced a scheme allowing people to open up their homes to refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine. "Homes for Ukraine" will allow individuals, charities and community groups to take Ukrainians into their homes, rent-free for a minimum of six months. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said "historically and by nature" the British people are "very generous, open and welcoming." In return for their kindness, hosts will be awarded a monthly "thank you" payment of £350.
