The first modular homes for Ukrainians will now not be ready until June, a year after they were first announced. It had been initially indicated that the rapid-build homes would be installed and ready to move into by November 2022. 

However, the projects have been dogged by delays and opposition from some local communities with a number of protests held outside earmarked sites.
