The government has simplified the procedure for registration of social payments for the purchase of housing for young families
All documents can be submitted electronically. It will become easier for young families to arrange social payments for the purchase or construction of housing. The decree on this was signed by the Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. Now all the documents necessary for obtaining state support can be submitted not only in person, but also remotely using the Single Portal of State and Municipal Services. Documents in electronic form must have a simple electronic signature of one of the family members. Social payments for the purchase or construction of housing are provided to families in which each of the spouses is under 35 years old. Children are not required. In addition, a single parent under 35 who is raising one or several children can receive state support. The main criterion is that the family should need to improve their living conditions. The amount of the payment is 30–35% of the cost of housing. In this case, it is necessary to confirm the income that allows you to cover the balance or repay the loan. You can spend money on buying a house, an apartment in a new building, building your own home, as well as on a down payment or repayment of a mortgage.
