The queue for housing - is there any hope?

Owning your own home is the dream of several generations of Russians, often unattainable. The queue for housing existed in Soviet times, and it still exists. Under socialism, people stood for years and decades in the housing queue, which, moreover, was not easy to get into. Only those who were in desperate need to be registered - having an area of 6 square meters. M and less per family member, or not at all. They stood in the housing queue for many years, and every change in the family (divorce, death of older relatives) automatically threw the person back into the tail of the queue. So waiting for free housing from the state was not easy.

And what about these days? To say that the situation has improved is difficult, rather the opposite. Article 40 of the Constitution guarantees citizens the right to housing. Free municipal housing continues to be built and provided to the needy, but only the timing and volume of construction is a bleak picture.

According to the new Housing Code adopted in 2005, not all citizens who need housing, but only those who fall into the category of low-income people, are now being placed on the waiting list for housing. All the rest are offered to buy housing in the real estate market at their own expense.

However, those who stood in the queue for housing before the adoption of the new LC, that is, until 2005, remain in it and certificates of income from them do not require, but in practice their chances are not great. According to statistics, in 2011 received (at last!) Apartments, those who stood in line for housing in the 89 and 90 years. last century.

Conditions for placing in the queue are a shortage of living space and a small income per family member. So to prepare the necessary documents, you need a lot of information and papers. And in each region these norms are their own, and sometimes it is difficult to understand who is still in the category of low-income and needy.

According to the law, the grounds for recognizing a person as needy are: the absence of the applicant or his family members used as social hiring or own housing, or the lack of available space in accordance with regional standards, living in premises that are considered unfit for housing as sanitary norms, the presence of a patient in the family Tuberculosis, AIDS and some other diseases, living in the same apartment of several families.

Preferential categories for placing in a queue for housing are residents of emergency homes and those who have been destroyed due to natural disasters, orphans (graduates of orphanages and boarding schools), as well as persons with diseases that pose a threat to others (for example, tuberculosis). The list of such diseases is officially approved by the authorities.

There are social programs for certain categories of people in need (for example, young families). This is a social mortgage, subsidizing the state purchase of housing or the provision of installments when buying. But there are many problems in the construction of social housing and commissioning, mainly related to contractors. Terms of construction are often delayed or broken, contract terms are violated.

The situation with housing for servicemen is somewhat better. There is a separate legislatively fixed turn for housing to servicemen. According to the law adopted in 1999, the state guarantees servicemen who have served 10 years or more to allocate an apartment or funds for its acquisition. The soldier can buy a flat immediately in the property or get it as a social hiring, and then privatize. The law establishes that the turn to housing for servicemen should be eliminated in 2013.
