EMERGENCY UKRAINE
Important information for those wishing to accommodate or support people currently arriving in Switzerland from Ukraine
EVAM is mandated by the Vaud State Council to ensure the reception of people who have fled the Ukrainian crisis and who require assistance.
-
How should new arrivals act upon their arrival?
-
People coming from Ukraine must register with one of the Federal Centers (CFA) no later than 90 days after their arrival in Switzerland. For that :
-
If the applicant already has accommodation, they must make an appointment online with the CFA in filling out the formavailable on the SEM website, and sending it to the email address indicated on the form. Upon receipt, he will receive by email a summons to the CFA, as well as a certificate of coverage of his medical expenses.
-
If the applicant does not have accommodation, he can go to the CFA of his choice where he will be registered and accommodated.

If, while waiting for the day of his summons to the CFA, the applicant needs material assistance, he can register with the Population service (SPOP) – VD.CH to obtain a temporary aid decision. Following this registration, these migrants will then be directed within the EVAM in order to receive financial assistance, social support and various aids (health insurance, school registration, etc.) according to their situation and their needs.
-
The owners or tenants of the property may, on request and subject to the signing of a lease or sublease contract concluded within the framework of the accommodation standards, receive a package including charges up to the standards assigned by the 'EVAM. This package will be given to the migrant directly (in addition to their financial assistance). In this case, please contact: HPlacement@evam.ch
-
In the event that the landlord can no longer accommodate migrants in his/her home, they will have to go to EVAM to seek accommodation (collective structures, etc. depending on their situation and capacity).

I would like to host someone in my home that I don't know yet
-
You would like to welcome one or more people into your home. We will process your requests as soon as possible. However, we would like to point out that migrants will initially be assigned to a group home in order to receive the assistance necessary for an initial reception (assessment of the situation) before being redirected to individualized accommodation.
-
You will also find other additional information on our page dedicated to the project;“Hosting a Migrant”.
-
For logistical reasons, it is strongly recommended:
-
To be able to commit to a period of 6 months.
-
Living close to public transport is also an important criterion for us and will make life easier for those arriving.
-
You can contact us by email at: Heberger-un-migrant@evam.ch
A telephone line will also be open soon to answer your questions.
-
