Resolution of June 9, 2025 No. 855

Participants in the special military operation who have the status of combat veterans, as well as participants in repelling the armed invasion of Ukrainian formations into Russian border regions, have received the right to become members of housing construction cooperatives (HCC). A resolution on this has been signed.

The list of categories of citizens who can be accepted as members of housing and construction cooperatives was approved in 2012. Until now, it included 11 categories of citizens, including large families, employees of state research centers, federal state educational organizations, state academies of sciences, employees of defense industry organizations, employees of internal affairs agencies and employees of the Russian National Guard who have special police ranks.

A housing cooperative is one of the forms of citizen participation in housing construction. People who establish a cooperative accept members of the housing cooperative, collect share contributions from them, and use the proceeds to build a house.

The advantage of a housing cooperative is that shareholders can directly search for contractors, monitor the construction progress and control how their money is spent. At the same time, the final cost of the apartment is usually lower than the market price, since shareholders pay for construction work without an intermediary bank.

The signed document introduces changes toGovernment Resolution of February 9, 2012 No. 108.
