Delays in payments of the £350 for the Homes for Ukraine scheme have led in some cases to relationship breakdowns and to families moving out.
Alex Sadler and his partner have been hosting Natalia and her five-year-old daughter since April.
He told Sky News:"It's about showing them, I guess, a real welcome to this country and showing them that we're here to support them. He added that had the payments not been delayed, Natalia would have been able to start building her independence earlier.Aside from the grants issue, the cost-of-living crisis has heaped further financial pressure of both hosts and refugees.Coordinator Chris Tanton told Sky News there's been"strong demand".
"But that doesn't mean that they can support them with the ongoing cost of living, that doesn't mean they can continue to feed them and clothe them, to the level that they deserve, necessarily, so places like this, they help."
