17 types of social assistance are provided in Almaty to support socially vulnerable segments of the population, the city Department of Employment and Social Programs reported.
Among them are targeted social assistance (TSA); housing assistance; social assistance to WWII veterans and other categories of citizens; social assistance in connection with an increase in utility tariffs; reimbursement for home schooling for children with disabilities; payments for memorable dates and holidays and other one-time social payments.
Thus, in 2024, 14.8 thousand people were covered by TSA for a total amount of 1.6 billion tenge. Housing assistance was provided to 741 citizens in the amount of 17.3 million tenge. A separate area was the support of citizens in connection with the increase in utility tariffs. Within the framework of the Tariff in Exchange for Investments program, more than 141 thousand people from socially vulnerable segments of the population received a monthly payment of 0.8 MCI, which amounted to more than 4 billion tenge.
Since January 1 of this year, the amounts of all types of state benefits and basic pensions have been increased by 6.5%, as well as new types of assistance are being introduced. For example, a new payment of 100 thousand tenge has been introduced for veterans of military operations in other countries by the Day of the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.
It is worth noting that support for socially vulnerable categories of the population is one of the priorities of the Almaty Akimat.
