Stavropol Territory receives 34 housing certificates for 1500 refugees
This year, Stavropol Territory has received only 34 housing certificates for forced migrants, while today's waiting list comprises 1500 persons.
This was reported today to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent by Vasily Tselovalnikov, Chairman of the Board of Associations of Migrants' Organizations of the Stavropol Territory.
"The situation with reception by forced migrants of housing certificates in the Stavropol Territory is very bad. If it goes like that, we'll need 80 years to receive all of them. Meanwhile, the neighbouring Volgograd Region received over 100 certificates this year," he has noted.
According to Mr Tselovalnikov, last year the money's worth of a housing certificate for immigrants made with 576,000 roubles per person.
"Certainly, you won't buy even a one-room 33 sq. m apartment for this money, such apartments are 1.5 million roubles worth now. One can only buy some housing in most remote districts.
Vasily Tselovalnikov has also added that he is preparing a respective letter to be sent in the near future to Vladimir Piligin, Chairman of the State Duma Committee for Constitutional Legislation and State Building, and to Victor Ilyukhin, State Duma Deputy.
