Most Ukrainians fleeing to Finland are staying in private accommodation.
Some of the new reception centers are branches of existing reception centers. The Finnish Immigration Service continues to increase the number of accommodation places in existing reception centers.
The Finnish Immigration Service is responsible for the coordination, planning and supervision of the reception system. The Finnish Immigration Service has reception centers in Helsinki, Lappeenranta (Joutseno) and Oulu. Other reception centers are maintained by non-governmental organizations, municipalities and companies.
New reception centers as of 6 May 2022
- Lammi branch of the Hämeenlinna reception center, the Finnish Red Cross, 100 places. Opens by 2 May 2022.
