Status, accommodation, financial aid

What is temporary protection?  
The priority actions are related to the granting of temporary protection (accompanying displaced Ukrainians as soon as they arrive on the territory).
The Prefecture takes charge of these people via the French Red Cross in the train stations and directs them to the Refugee Forum and the French Office for Immigration and Integration (OFII), which is responsible for assisting them in obtaining temporary protection status (an initial three-month residence permit, which can be extended to three years, and which allows them to benefit from health coverage and work).
