More than 5,000 families of ex-servicemen, IDPs and socially vulnerable individuals will receive the legal deeds to the flats they already inhabit but that are legally owned by the Ministry of Defence.
The ministry cannot use these flats and cannot reconstruct them. People who live in these flats do not have good living conditions. The new initiative will give them the opportunity to benefit from municipal homeowners’ partnership programmes – to reconstruct roofs, entrances and water supply systems,” says the ministry.
The ministry owns 5,000 non-privatised flats in Kutaisi, Batumi, Poti, Khoni, Senaki, Tbilisi and other municipalities of east Georgia.
The initiative was presented by Georgian Defence Minister Irakli Gharibashvili.
122 flats will be built on land plots owned by internally displaced persons (IDPs) with the financial support of the German Development Bank (KfW) in Georgia’s eastern region of Shida Kartli and Western Georgia, reports the press office of the Ministry of Health, Social Care and Internally Displaced People.
The construction of flats for eco-migrant families living in slum-like conditions in Batumi’s so-called ‘Dream Town’ will start in February, said Head of the Adjara region government Tornike Rijvadze earlier today.
Georgian Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze has stated that the government will gift flats to up to 700 soldiers in residential complexes built on the Makhata Mountain in central Tbilisi.
Eight internally displaced families from Georgia’s Russian occupied regions of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) have received new apartments today in Borjomi, Samtskhe-Javakheti region of Georgia.
An additional 115 IDP families will receive legal deeds to the flats they already inhabit but that are legally owned by the state.
