603 displaced families to receive homes in rural Georgia

Over 600 displaced families will receive accommodation across rural parts of Georgia, the national Agency of Internally Displaced Persons, Eco-Migrants and Livelihoods Provision said on Friday.

The Agency will purchase housing for 603 displaced families selected by a commission involved in the initiative, with the decision following an order from Mikheil Sarjveladze, the Minister of IDPs from the Occupied Territories, Labour, Health and Social Affairs.

The beneficiaries will be able to select their residences over a period of six months, with the budget allocated on a per-person basis.

The Agency purchased houses for 1,132 displaced families this year, with efforts to support more families ongoing.
