The new Project, like the previous one - USIF V, aims to create housing for internally displaced persons (IDPs) by restoration (renovation) of existing buildings. A school or a kindergarten will also be renovated, in accordance with the German energy efficiency standards, next to each residential building for IDPs.

Representatives of local communities and local governments/self-government authorities were provided with templates of information to be submitted to USIF Eastern Regional Office.
