The queue for housing - is there any hope?

have their own shelter - a dream of several generations of Russians, often unrealizable.The queue for housing existed in Soviet times, there she is now.Under socialism, people stood for years and decades in the housing queue to get into that, besides, it was not easy.On the account set only in urgent need - the available area of ​​6 square meters.m and less than one family member, or does not have itself.Standing in the queue for housing for many years, and each change in family composition (divorce, death of older relatives) will automatically cast a man again in the tail queue.So wait for free housing from the state was not easy.

And what about today?To say that the situation has improved, it is difficult, quite the contrary.Article 40 of the Constitution guarantees citizens the right to housing.Free public housing continues to be built and made available to those in need, that's just the timing and the volume of construction is a bleak picture.

Under the new Housing Code, adopted in 2005, queued for housing no longer be subject to all citizens in need of housing, and only those who belong to the category of the poor.Everyone else offered to buy housing in the property market at their own expense.

However, those who stood in line to receive housing before the new LCD, t. E. Until 2005, there are certificates of income and they are not required, but in practice their chances are slim.According to statistics, in 2011, we got (finally!) Apartments, those who stood in a queue for housing in 89 and 90 years.the last century.

Terms queuing is a shortage of living space and a small income for a family member.So for the necessary documents required every pile of certificates and securities.And in each region, these rules also, and is sometimes difficult to figure out who all the same belongs to the category of the poor and needy.

By law, the grounds for the recognition of human need are: lack used in order social renting or owning property near the applicant or members of his family or a lack of available space and local regulations, accommodation in areas found to be unsuitable as a dwelling for the sanitary norms, the presence ofthe family of the patient with tuberculosis, AIDS and several other diseases, living in the same apartment several families.

privileged categories in the queue for housing are residents of damaged houses and exposed to damage due to natural disasters, orphans (graduates of orphanages and boarding schools), as well as those with diseases that threaten others (eg, tuberculosis).The list of diseases officially approved by the authorities.

there are social programs for certain categories of need (for example, young families).It is a social mortgage, subsidies for the purchase of state property or the provision of installments at purchase.But there are many problems in the construction of social housing and commissioning, mainly related to the contractors.Construction period is often delayed or frustrated, violated contract terms.

Somewhat better is the situation with housing for servicemen.There is a separate legislative consolidation of all military housing.According to the adopted law in 1999, the state guarantees to servicemen who have completed 10 or more years, the allocation of an apartment or funds for its purchase.The apartment serviceman may acquire ownership or right to receive as a social rent and then privatize it.The law states that all housing for military personnel to be liquidated in 2013.
