Sergey Vadimovich, you have recently returned from the Belgorod region, where, according to our data, were “shooting” to a new turn in the resettlement program of emergency housing. People do, it will be possible instead of moving into a new city apartment to build your own country house?
Sergei Stepashin We are currently working on this. The President instructed to consider the extension of the program of individual housing construction, including for the resettlement of the emergency Fund.
And in Belgorod went because there is a program of dilapidated housing has already included the construction of individual country houses. From the regional budget people to get money, the interest rate on this loan is 5 to 10 percent. Here, in General, this area is widely developed. Has 27 years of regional Fund of support of individual housing construction. It provides loans to resident inhabitants of the region, so they can improve their living conditions. There are several such regions, and we were there too. Each with its own nuances. In the Belgorod region, for example, land and gold. Black earth. Not everyone can afford to purchase a plot for construction.
And not only in this region. In poor homes are mostly people of very low incomes. It should be considered in the future programme of individual housing.
And what problem you found in the Pskov region?
Sergei Stepashin this is a different story.
In the Pskov region, on the contrary, favorable conditions for individual construction. After the Soviet collapse in the region has sharply reduced the population by almost two times. Therefore, the land is enough. There are gas, electricity, roads, good.
So these two regions – Belgorod and Pskov region – we decided to do a pilot for a new program of resettlement of dilapidated housing. There will be other regions.
Maybe we should just adopt a comprehensive programme of individual housing construction? And not only related to the hazard lights? Now everything is farmed out to local authorities.
Sergei Stepashin In the end, so be it. At least, I certainly hope so. Now after all the problems with the coronavirus in humans again increased interest in country life.
However, demand for such houses was before. So that the program will be in demand. Only all need to think carefully about. You know, if the Soviet Union were not confined to the six idiotic acres, people would have long lived in good houses. Then building materials were cheap, and the desire to build, and manpower – not gastarbeiters, and its. And most importantly – the desire was to get out of town.
However, today there are conditions. But here I want to emphasize that at the moment and until the end of 2024 are already approvedestablished rules and norms for the resettlement of dilapidated housing.
