How to line up for housing?

Buying your own living space today is a very expensive pleasure. This is especially true when it comes to capitals and cities of federal significance. However, citizens who cannot afford to own their own home have a great chance - to get social housing. Immediately, we note that it is not available to everyone, but only to certain categories. They do not give it out immediately - it is necessary to queue for housing. We will tell you about all the intricacies of the procedure later in the article.

Who is eligible for social housing?

Under Russian law, the following categories of citizens are eligible to join the housing queue:

1. Orphans without a guardian.
2. Military personnel.
3. Victims of natural disasters depriving them of shelter.
4. Owners of dilapidated, dilapidated apartments or houses.

Basic conditions for obtaining social housing

To stand in line for housing that is provided by the state for free, it is not enough just to relate to one of these unprotected layers of the population. It is important to comply with a number of requirements that are required by law:

1. Russian citizenship.
2. Long stay in this region.
3. The presence of an official status of a poor citizen.
4. The absence of facts of deliberate worsening of their living conditions for 5 years. What is included here? Sale of housing for the purpose of buying a smaller area, as well as registration in your home of able-bodied people who are not related to you by relationship.

If your situation does not conflict with the requirements of the law, then you need to proceed to the collection of documents and the submission of an appropriate application to the structure of local self-government.

Legislation and nuances

Your right to free social housing (subject to the above standards) is enshrined in Art. 40 of the Russian Constitution. Every citizen of the Russian Federation must have their own home.

The updated Housing Code also provides the following additional conditions for receiving free apartments:

1. In the former housing, for each resident there is less housing space than what is defined by law.
2. Joint family income does not allow you to purchase residential property yourself.
3. Those who entered the housing queue after 2005 are required to confirm their insolvency.

Art. 51 of the new LCD also reveals what is behind the concept of "needing better housing conditions":

1. Citizens who do not own any real estate.
2. Both tenants and apartment owners with a living space in terms of 1 person less than what the law allows.
3. People living in a communal apartment with people suffering from serious chronic illnesses.

Skip the line

We also note the categories of citizens who are entitled to receive free housing without a queue:

1. Veterans of the Great Patriotic War, as well as those persons who are equated with them.
2. Orphans.
3. Citizens whose housing is recognized as dangerous for living because of their disrepair, accident rate.
4. Persons suffering from a serious form of chronic illness that could pose a threat to those around them.

Procedure for federal cities

Note that the procedure for queuing for housing and the list of necessary documentation may vary depending on the locality. Therefore, we will provide general information on this topic.

As for the federal centers of Russia, there is a distinctive requirement for obtaining social housing - settled down in the city for a period of at least 10 years. Moreover, the list of housing queues can be made even if you have a municipal or personal apartment with unsatisfactory living conditions.

Where to go? To the territorial department of social protection. There you need to get the status of a poor person. Then, a queue for housing is already drawn up.

Procedure for regional settlements

In the regions, the conditions will be slightly different. How to line up for housing here? The first condition is that you must live in the territory of this settlement for at least five years.

If it is observed, then the procedure goes like this:

1. You apply with the application and all necessary documents to the authorized structure of local self-government. It (a statement) is submitted both from you personally, and on behalf of the whole family.
2. This structure should recognize you as poor. A month is usually given to make such a decision.
3. As soon as the status of a poor family is confirmed, you need to register yourself as soon as possible in the queue for social housing.
4. For this, the corresponding authorized body submits a corresponding application with a package of documents, which we have designated below.

Be careful: if the data you provide is incorrect, outdated, intentionally hidden, then when this fact is revealed, you are immediately removed from the queue by law!

Queuing Documents

How to line up for housing? Submit a package of required documents to your local social welfare office. In most cases, this is as follows:

1. Application for placing in the housing queue.
2. Identity document, personal identification number.
3. Certificate of recognition of you as a poor person.
4. Birth certificate of children (child). An alternative is a certificate of adoption.
5. Certificate of marriage or divorce.

7. Documents that give you the right to personal social benefits.

The application will be considered approximately a month. And an important nuance. While in the queue for a free apartment, you must confirm your financial inconsistency with certificates of available income every month.

Poor Citizen Status

In analyzing how to get on the line for housing, we have established that the decisive here will be the recognition of you or your family as poor. It is impossible in advance to predict the likelihood of assigning such a status. A lot is taken into account by the authorized bodies:

1. The level of monthly income you receive. If we are talking about a family, then the average indicator for each is calculated based on the income of each of the able-bodied family members.
2. To calculate the profit, not only the salary is taken, but also all sources of your income.
3. Authorized entities also take into account all property that you own that is taxable. This is a car, non-residential premises, major garage, land, etc.

Housing for a young family

Social support programs for such a plan are not aimed at providing free housing, but at paying a subsidy that will help to purchase an apartment on their own. As in other cases, it is necessary to meet a number of requirements in order for a young family to queue for housing:

1. At the time of payment of the subsidy, the age of each spouse cannot be more than 35 years.
2. All family members are citizens of the Russian Federation. Non-residents of the state, unfortunately, are not taken into account.
3. The family was recognized as needy, poor.
4. You do not have any other own dwelling in the property.
5. The family has its own housing, but its area is much less than the norm declared in the region (from 8 to 18 m ² - depending on the subject of the Russian Federation).
6. You live in dilapidated housing. Or an apartment, a house that does not meet sanitary standards.

To receive a subsidy, you need to apply with a statement and a package of documents (their general list is presented above) to the local government structure. The application is considered 10 days. With a positive decision, a subsidy will be accrued, which will cover 30% of the cost of housing purchased (if there are children, then 35%).

Housing for single mothers

Recall that before single mothers had the right to receive an extraordinary free apartment. Today they have it on common rights - when recognizing a poor citizen or without their own housing.

In a preferential, that is, an extraordinary category, a single mother can fall under the following conditions:

1. Either she or the child is disabled.

The submitted application is considered within a month. The woman will be notified in writing of the decision of the authorized bodies.

If a single mother stands in line for a free apartment, then a citizen is required to confirm this status annually.
