09-07-2026 18:38 Armenia Press release
The government has approved the procedure, conditions, beneficiary groups, and the list of data received and provided by state and local self-government bodies for ensuring housing in the social housing fund within the framework of state social support programs.
The adoption of the decision will contribute to filling the legislative gaps currently existing in the provision of temporary state shelter and housing from the social housing fund. Accordingly, it is proposed to review the list of individuals (families) accommodated in the state social housing fund and the conditions presented to them. In particular, the decision establishes criteria and conditions for families in urgent need of assistance among other groups. Refugees who have received asylum in Armenia are given the opportunity to be provided with housing through two mechanisms.
A new social group has also been defined as individuals subjected to domestic and family violence, who have no grounds for residing in a shelter but require housing based on social assessment needs. The decision provides for the establishment of a pilot program, according to which, initially, housing in the state social housing fund will be allocated for an affordable rent. The pilot program will be implemented in the city of Artashat, at the address 32/1 Mravyan. It is planned to have 23 housing units in the state social housing fund located at the specified address. It is also planned to review the terms of the contracts for the provision of housing from the social housing fund.
As a result, it is expected to improve the legal framework of the services for providing housing from the state social housing fund, review the list of target groups, and regulate certain relationships.
