The issue of housing for large families will be raised at a meeting in the government

Minister of Industry and Infrastructure Development of Kazakhstan Zhenis Kassymbek proposed to increase the construction of housing for large families. The Minister said that his ministry plans to raise this issue at a meeting in the government. 

“We are looking for funding in order to build additional apartments for just such families. If 700 apartments are built annually, now their number should be increased two to three times”, - said Zhenis Kassymbek.

According to the Minister, his ministry intends to offer the government to consider the possibility of including a section on providing large families with rental housing in the Nurly Zher state program.

Currently, 28,000 families are in the queue for rental housing, the minister said.

Moreover, it should be noted that on Wednesday, over a hundred women put forward their demands to the authorities to increase social support for large families. They gathered after a fire in Astana, which killed five children from the same family.

Earlier, the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev expressed his condolences to the parents and relatives of the children who died in the fire in Astana.
