AS OF 1 JULY 2023, THE CONDITIONS FOR THE SOLIDARITY HOUSEHOLD ALLOWANCE AND THE HUMANITARIAN BENEFIT WILL CHANGE
Contribution for solidarity household. Housing-related amounts will now be provided directly to foreigners with Temporary Protection (TP) together with a humanitarian benefit. In order to be entitled to the full amount of countable housing costs, a foreigner with DO must live in a separate apartment that is registered in the register of apartments and contracts. If the apartment is not registered, the alien with DO will be credited with a lower amount of his/her housing costs from 1 July 2023. Only the owner can register the apartment. It is only possible to register a separate flat that is rented out to foreigners with DO for living purposes (not a flat in a shared household with the owner or landlord). The registration is due to the need to verify the existence of the flat for which persons with DO are receiving support.

Humanitarian dose (HuD)/ Humanitarian aid will be newly conceived as both a living allowance and a housing allowance. All income and any savings will be taken into account. Like similar benefits for Czech citizens, it will be based on the subsistence minimum. Vulnerable persons will receive a higher benefit. The humanitarian benefit in July will be supplemented by an accommodation allowance. The HuD is provided at the subsistence minimum for the first 150 days (5 months), then reduced to the subsistence minimum in cases where the person does not try to secure financial resources on his/her own and at the same time has no objective obstacles to work (i.e. is not a so-called vulnerable person).
