Homes for displaced Afghan and Ukrainian families in Shropshire could be built for more than £7 million.
If the plans are approved by council members next month, the homeless or at-risk-of-homelessness families would reside in 30 new homes.
According to the local authority, the government would provide up to £3.2 million of the funding, with the council proposing to borrow the remaining amount.
The houses would later satisfy the authority's larger housing requirements.
The authority presented its strategies in a report that will be discussed by the entire council on March 2.
The Local Authority Housing Fund was established in December to assist councils in locating affordable housing for those who are unable to secure their own housing, and the £3.2m funding has been allocated under this fund.
Shropshire Council announced that it intended to purchase and renovate 30 two-, three-, and four-bedroom homes that would initially be given to households of Ukrainian and Afghan refugees.
The homes would be delivered by November if the authority accepts the terms of the funding.
The council asserted that it intended to spend a total of £7.2m through borrowing £3.2m on rental income and approving a capital investment of £750,000.
The council currently has 14 homeless Ukrainian refugee households staying in bed and breakfasts, and they expect that number to rise over the coming months.
Although there are no bridging hotels for Afghan households in Shropshire, families are housed in the West Midlands, so it's crucial for the council to offer support whenever it can in order to provide settled housing.
It would seem pragmatic to accept the full allocation of capital funding to acquire the target number of homes and use best efforts to deliver given the pressures on the council surrounding its homelessness duties and the fact that after the initial need of providing Ukrainian and Afghan refugees with a home has been met, subsequent lettings can be used to meet the council's wider housing and homelessness pressures.
