In Lviv region, plans have been made to purchase three more flats for orphans and children deprived of parental care. The relevant decision was taken by the Regional Commission on the Provision of Housing for Orphans at a meeting on 11 November.
The Commission endorsed proposals from the Novoyarychiv, Horodok and Novoyavorivsk territorial communities to buy three two-room flats. More than UAH 1.1 million will be allocated for this from the regional budget, with the remaining cost of the housing to be co-financed by the communities themselves from local budgets.
Members of the Commission stressed that when selecting options for purchase, the key factor is the quality of the housing: the technical condition of the building, the availability of all necessary amenities, as well as its location close to social infrastructure and convenient public transport.
According to the Children’s Service of the Lviv Regional Military Administration, since the beginning of the year, under the Regional Programme for the Provision of Housing for Orphans, Children Deprived of Parental Care and Persons from among Them, funds have already been allocated for the purchase of 11 flats for 12 children. Last year, under this Programme, 13 orphans and persons from among them were provided with housing through the purchase of 13 residential properties.
