Changes in social support measures in Russia are set to benefit families of participants in the special military operation (SVO), allowing a greater number of them to access financial assistance. These modifications, which took effect on April 2, 2025, aim to alleviate the burden on families of those involved in military service by relaxing previous eligibility criteria.
Under the new regulations, the property security of a family member participating in the SVO will no longer impact the monthly cash payments for children aged one to two years, nor will it affect monthly payments for food. This marks a significant shift from earlier policies that considered the family’s living conditions and property ownership when determining eligibility for support.
Previously, families had to meet specific living space requirements, which mandated that each family member had at least 18 square meters of living space if there were two or more living spaces in the household. Additionally, there were restrictions regarding the number of vehicles owned by the family, which stipulated that families could not possess two or more cars manufactured within the last five years. These stipulations have now been abolished.
Irina Shuvalova, the Minister of Labor and Social Development of the Rostov Region, expressed optimism about these changes, stating, "These changes will allow more families to benefit from support. We are constantly adding to and expanding the social support measures for participants in the special military operation and their families; our goal is to surround everyone with care and attention." This sentiment reflects a broader commitment to improving the welfare of military families and acknowledging their sacrifices.
In addition to the social support changes, the Termodom holding has introduced special conditions for participants in the SVO and their close relatives when purchasing real estate. This initiative is designed to provide financial relief to military families looking to secure housing.
Potential homebuyers can benefit significantly from these conditions. For instance, purchasing a one-room apartment could yield savings of up to 200,000 rubles. For larger apartments, such as two- and three-room units, the savings can be even more substantial, reaching as high as 465,000 rubles. Such financial incentives are likely to ease the strain on families who may be facing economic challenges due to their loved ones' military service.
Representatives from the Termodom holding encourage interested buyers to reach out for more information regarding the purchasing conditions and to calculate potential prices. They emphasize their readiness to assist families in navigating the real estate market during this challenging time.
For those considering these opportunities, the Termodom holding has provided a contact number for their sales department: 8 (8412) 28-28-20. Additionally, further details can be found on their website, termodom-pnz.ru. The builders associated with this initiative include OOO SZ Termodom-grupp, OOO SZ Novella-3, OOO SZ Nyuton, OOO SZ Termodom-Ctroyservis, and OOO SZ TermodomRielt.
These developments signify a concerted effort by the Russian government and private enterprises to support military families during a time of heightened need. By providing financial assistance and easing the conditions for housing purchases, authorities aim to foster a more supportive environment for those who serve and their families.
As the situation evolves, it will be crucial to monitor the impact of these changes on families and whether they effectively improve the living conditions and financial stability of those affected by the SVO. The ongoing commitment to enhancing social support measures indicates a recognition of the sacrifices made by military personnel and their families.
