The scheme allows residents in the city to give up their spare rooms to provide a home for people who have fled Ukraine - if they have a named sponsor.
The number does not include visas issued under the separate Ukraine Family Scheme.
The data has been published by the Home Office and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities.
