The Government of Georgia on Monday discussed a draft decree for providing new accommodation to about 1,000 socially vulnerable families with three and more children.
Chairing the weekly Government meeting, Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said the goal of the ₾50 million ($19 mln) initiative was to create “decent” accommodation for families facing challenging living conditions, the Government press office said.
Eligibility for the programme involves having children of families in question registered in the Social Service Agency’s unified database of the socially vulnerable.
Excluded from participation are families whose members are listed in the unified electronic database of displaced or eco-migrant families, managed by the Agency for Internally Displaced Persons, Ecomigrants and Livelihood, as well as homeless families who have already received accommodation from the state or appropriate monetary compensation for housing.
Decisions over housing for eligible families will be made by a dedicated commission that will consider the number of children and socio-economic situation of applying families. The programme is slated to run through 2025, the press office added.
