Today, a regular meeting of the working group of the State Council of the Russian Federation in the direction "Construction, housing and communal services, urban environment" took place. Opening the meeting, the head of the working group, the President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov recalled that the Russian Ministry of Construction prepared the state program “Development of private housing in the Russian Federation for 2020-2024.” “A great help for the development of individual residential construction, of course, is the preferential rural mortgage. In Tatarstan, this banking product aroused interest not only among the villagers, but also among urban residents. 468 loans worth over 1 billion rubles have already been issued in the republic,” - Rustam Minnikhanov said. He also said that in Tatarstan, a corresponding regional program is being developed with the planned commissioning for the next five years (2020-2024), in total more than 7.8 million square meters. He indicated that the development of individual housing construction requires the synchronization of land issues, programs for the construction of engineering networks and social infrastructure. “In the republic, with a view to an integrated approach to the development of private housing, a specialized training program has been developed for municipal workers, developers, contractors and other participants in the process,” - said Rustam Minnikhanov.
