Far North residents who own land plots for house construction will not lose their right to housing subsidies. This bill was passed in its second and third readings at the State Duma plenary session on 3 July. This is reported by the Parlamentskaya Gazeta.

Vyacheslav Loginov, First Deputy Chairman of the Committee on the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, noted that the initiative was developed in compliance with a Constitutional Court ruling.

The condition excluding those with land for house construction outside the Far North and equivalent areas will not apply to citizens registered as eligible for housing subsidies before the amendments to the relevant federal law (228-FZ) take effect.

Earlier, Yury Mutsenek, Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing, reported that 13 people were removed from the registry under the new requirements. The bill aims to restore these citizens' rights.
