As the press service of the government recalled, usually subsidies for housing and communal services are issued for six months, and to extend the payment for the next six months, you must again submit an application and documents confirming the need.

“Due to the coronavirus, the time limit was lifted until December 31, the payment was extended automatically.

Now this measure will be extended until April 1, ”the message says.

They explained that citizens whose term for granting subsidies expires from January 1 to April 1, 2021, will be able to receive state support in the same amount for the next six months without submitting documents.

In the fall of 2020, the All-Russian Popular Front advocated full compensation for housing and utility costs to families with an income at the subsistence level or below per person.

Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Housing Policy and Housing and Utilities Pavel Kachkaev commented on the NSN initiative.
