Housing programme in Armenia`s border regions suspended

ArmInfo. The Ministry of Social  Affairs of Armenia responded to the information circulated in the  media that the government prematurely terminated the state program to  ensure affordable housing in the country's border villages.

Thus, the press secretary of the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs  of Armenia Zara Manucharyan reported that there are a large number of  applications within the framework of the state support program for  providing housing in border rural areas.

"At the moment, the Unified Social Service of the Ministry has  approved 1,797 applications, of which 1,517 in 2024 alone (while it  was planned to cover 560 beneficiaries this year). About 255 more  applications have been received and are being studied by partner  banks within the framework of the project," Manucharyan noted. At the  same time, she recalled that, as previously announced and determined  by government decree, after 2,000 applications have been satisfied,  the program will take a break, which will provide an opportunity to  study the existing picture, analyze goals, problems, and evaluate the  results.

"Based on the results of the research, a decision will be made to  continue the project either with modifications, changes, or under the  same conditions," she summed up.
