Has there been any clarification if the Accomodation Recognition Payment Scheme is going to be extended past March 2025?

To clarify this relates to the 800 euro payment made monthly by the DSW to people who let properties or rooms to Ukranian refugees.

A similarish scheme (hotels, Govt buildings and student accommodation) made available by Govt has been withdrawn recently.

Red Cross completely in dark when I spoke with them after Christmas.Seems odd that this is running right down to the wire.

 
The EU recently extended the Temporary Protection Directive until March 2026.

I would say this would mean it is likely the government will extend the ARP scheme.

Over 16,000 Ukrainians are being housed under the ARP so it would not seem to make sense for it to end as the government will be obliged to rehouse them, probably at much greater cost.

Expect an announcement next month.

Are you sure about this? Any links? There are certainly a number of cases where individual arrangements have ended but I'm not aware of their total withdrawal.
 
According to that article 15,000 had to move last year, some possibly to other hotels and guesthouses. But there are still 28,000 Ukrainians living in hotels and guesthouses under the scheme. There is a winding down in place but I don't see any evidence the scheme has been withdrawn recently.
 
Good point, have tried searching repeatedly for news on it but can't seem to find anything but convinced it was in news last week.
