Answered by Minister for Social Justice
In the 6 months from August 2022, the initial accommodation network for Ukrainians has utilised 29 hotels, 9 welcome centres, 2 university halls and 3 holiday parks.
The number of rooms, cabins, and caravans has varied over the past 6 months as additional capacity has been established to support new arrivals and handed back as people moved into longer term accommodation.
The total number of rooms, cabins, and caravans booked to house Ukrainians over the past 6 months across all types of initial accommodation has been 1,351 with 3113 people arriving in Wales through the Welsh Government Homes for Ukraine Super Sponsor Scheme to date.
