Programs to provide affordable housing to residents are being systematically implemented in Shymkent. Today, 23 families on the housing waiting list received the keys to rental apartments in the Asar-2 microdistrict. These new homes are being provided from the city's municipal housing stock. The residents include large and single-parent families, people with disabilities, parents raising special children, as well as children left without parental care and orphans. The ceremony of handing over the keys to the apartments was attended by the mayor of the city, Gabit Syzdykbekov. The head of the megalopolis noted that expanding the rental housing stock and providing citizens with housing are among the priorities being implemented in the city. The provision of shelter is being implemented in a planned manner, in compliance with established procedures and legislative requirements.
