New parliamentary bills expand housing support for military families by December
Two new bills aimed at supporting participants in special military operations have moved forward in parliament. Both passed their first reading in 2025 and will face final consideration in early December. The proposals focus on easing land allocation and expanding discounts for construction materials.
The first bill changes how land is allocated to families of those involved in special military operations. It simplifies the process, though exact details of the amendments remain under review.
The second bill builds on an existing policy by extending a discount on timber purchases. Previously limited to certain construction projects, the discount now also applies to garden plots owned by eligible participants.
To confirm residency, applicants can now submit a wider range of documents. Accepted proofs include employment records, temporary registration certificates, court decisions, military service papers, and statements from employers or tax offices.
The politicians behind these drafts are believed to be officials from the housing or defence ministries. However, their names and the precise date for the final vote have not yet been made public.
If approved, the bills will broaden support for special military operation participants and their families. The land allocation changes and expanded timber discounts aim to make housing projects more accessible. Final decisions are expected in December, once lawmakers complete their review.
