Families of defenders from Odesa region receive 19 million under the "eHouse" program

The number of families of Ukraine's defenders from Odesa Oblast who have already benefited from interest rate compensation under the eHouse program has reached 422.

This was announced by the head of the Odesa Regional State Administration Oleh Kiper.

According to him, the total amount of payments has already reached UAH 19 million.

The main terms of the "eHouse" program:

• Mortgage at 3-7% per annum.
• The down payment is from 20%.
• The maximum loan term is 20 years.

For comparison, standard bank rates for housing are 15-25%. The Odesa Regional Military Commissariat reimburses interest under the eHouse program for members of the Defense Forces at the expense of the regional budget. Thanks to this, our defenders can buy housing without overpaying on the loan.

For most citizens, the eHouse program is focused on new or commissioned housing no more than three years ago. Under the program, internally displaced persons will be able to buy apartments or houses up to ten years old, while previously the age of housing under eHouse was limited to three years.
