In the Northwestern Federal District, the resettlement of people from houses unfit for habitation continues.
In the Northwestern Federal District, people are being resettled from uninhabitable buildings. Vladimir Putin set the task of reducing the emergency housing stock and improving the living conditions of people living there for the Russian construction industry. Since 2019, when the implementation of the national project “Housing and Urban Environment” began, the subjects of the Northwestern Federal District have resettled 1.5 million square meters of housing recognized as uninhabitable, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.
“Resettlement of emergency housing is one of the tasks that the Government keeps under special control. We are working on solving this problem together with the regions. Under the national project “Housing and Urban Environment”, almost 84 thousand citizens have been resettled from emergency housing in the district to date. The unsuitable housing stock has been reduced by 1.5 million square meters. The resettlement program not only helps improve the quality of life of thousands of Russians, but also contributes to the renewal of urban development and the creation of a comfortable urban environment. Since 2025, these tasks have been solved within the framework of the new national project “Infrastructure for Life”, – said the Deputy Prime Minister.
According to Marat Khusnullin, in the Northwestern Federal District, the largest number of residents moved from dilapidated housing in the Arkhangelsk Region – 26.1 thousand people, the Leningrad Region – 12.7 thousand people, the Komi Republic – 10.4 thousand people, the Republic of Karelia – 9.4 thousand people and the Vologda Region – 7.1 thousand people.
The General Director of the Territorial Development Fund, Ilshat Shagiakhmetov, noted that many regions are working ahead of schedule, completing assigned tasks in a shorter time frame.
“In addition, it has already become a good tradition that regions connect their mechanisms to solve the problem of resettling emergency housing, create their own resettlement programs. Thus, the subjects of the Northwestern Federal District, at the expense of their budgets, resettled 13.2 thousand people out of the total number. Here we can note the Komi Republic, where the region independently resettled 3.8 thousand people, and the Arkhangelsk Region, where, thanks to the initiative of the subject, almost 3 thousand citizens improved their housing conditions,” said the head of the Territorial Development Fund.
The program for resettling citizens from emergency housing stock is supervised by the Russian Ministry of Construction. Its operator is the Territorial Development Fund.
