Russia’s border regions continue to develop systematically, despite external challenges. Kursk Oblast is increasing the pace of resettlement of dilapidated housing. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
“Residents of border areas today face difficult challenges. In such conditions, it is especially important to provide them with support. Our task is not only to ensure safety, but also to help maintain confidence in the future, creating conditions for a comfortable life. Kursk Region has successfully completed the program of resettling houses recognized as unsafe before January 2017. To provide additional support to the region, the remainder of unused funds allocated for the resettlement of such houses have been redistributed. The Territorial Development Fund has approved the corresponding application. This will allow resettling another 90 residents from 45 residential premises with a total area of over 1,000 square meters, recognized as unsuitable after 2017,” said Marat Khusnullin.
According to the acting governor of Kursk region Alexander Khinshtein, dozens of buildings in the region have been declared unfit for habitation: cracks in load-bearing structures, rotten floors, emergency communications. People have been waiting for resettlement in these difficult conditions for years.
“Therefore, the decision of the Territorial Development Fund to allocate almost 91 million rubles is a critically important step. We are grateful for this support, and we will continue to persistently seek the allocation of additional resources from the federal center for these needs,” said Alexander Khinshtein.
The operator of the program for the resettlement of emergency housing is the Territorial Development Fund.
“The main goals of the program are to ensure comfortable living conditions for citizens and reduce the dilapidated housing stock. Since 2019, more than 850 thousand residents have been resettled from 14.5 million square meters of dilapidated housing in Russia. In the Kursk region alone, 1.6 thousand people have moved from 22.2 thousand square meters. The program is being implemented as part of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, – noted the company’s general director Vasily Kupyzin.
