In the Northern District - more than 19 thousand families waiting. Every year, provided shelter for about one thousand families. If the pace to go further, then reduce the waiting time in queues of up to 10 years will be impossible. How then can make a difference? Recently, the Moscow government issued a decree on the medium-term program of housing construction. So, comparing the number of waiting area and the number of residential space, which will be built by 2010, we concluded that the problem is quite real. But to do so to provide housing for those waiting, who went on record before 2000. This also applies to beneficiaries, and those who stand in line with general practice. Now in the district of 13 224 families.

Let's not forget that the housing problems of today should be considered under the presidential program 'Affordable Housing'. This means that in addition to free provision of planned housing waiting list, that is, social self-employed people offer to buy an apartment on a reimbursable basis, with the assistance of its own funds. In Moscow, a few such options. This is a social mortgage program `young family - Affordable Housing ', the purchase of apartments by installment and the use of subsidies. Moreover, everything is done to ensure that these compensatory ways to ensure Muscovites make housing a priority.

Meanwhile, not all so smoothly. The fact is that to become parties to these programs now are all waiting until 2005 for setting records. But if we want to reduce the waiting time in queues of up to 10 years, we must introduce some restrictions. For example, this - take advantage of the social mortgage can only those who got registered no later than 2000. The same applies to other onerous ways to access housing.

What is missing? Calculate ...

However, even with these conditions, according to our calculations, not to avoid deficit 535 apartments. What to do? First, make the work re waiting for more systematic.

Practice shows that some part of Muscovites annually goes the distance. Some people solve their housing issues themselves, without waiting for assistance from the state, while others, sadly, just do not live to see the happy day. And finally, there are families that cease to be waiting. Why is this happening? By law, housing authorities verify the presence of living space for all family members to be secure. The result often turns out that except the area in which they are registered, there is another apartment in the property or allotment in it, and so on. When these facts are revealed, we must take account of this area, and sometimes the family is subject to removal from the register.

Thus, in the Northern District each year on these and other reasons, are removed from the register of about 300 families. And the more precise work on the re-registration, ultimately, help solve the problem of the lack of apartments. But there is another point that suggests that the housing deficit can handle.

Among the waiting, there are two groups of beneficiaries: one must be provided housing through the federal budget, others - through the city. All their calculations on the reduction of the queue, we are proceeding from the fact that the house will build the city. Believe me, this does not mean that we divide people into categories and someone will give a flat, but some do not. That will not happen. Just in case, if the federal budget will allocate funds for housing benefit recipients, the county would be even a slight plus for the presence of living space.

Once again on the communal

From the above we can conclude: to reduce the queue up to 10 years is possible, but this requires the following. First, to impose restrictions on the year, setting records on the provision for compensation to the families of the area method. Secondly, to reduce the provision of housing for the city of privileged categories of citizens belonging to the federal budget. Of course, not at the expense privileged. Third, to organize regular routine work on the waiting list and re-adjusting database.

Finally, as a proposal. Amend existing legislation, can take account of citizens living in apartments and communal settlement and secured at a rate of 18 square. m of space per person. In 1115 the Northern District of families that have taken the place until 2000. Today, in view of these people we do not remove, though debatable, it could be discussed.
