Since the renovation program began, approximately two thousand disabled Muscovites and their family members have become owners of specially equipped housing in new buildings. Ekaterina Solovieva, Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital's Department of City Property.
"Nearly two thousand people with disabilities and their family members have received specially equipped apartments in new buildings under the renovation program over the past eight years. Since the beginning of this year, the city has provided such housing for people with disabilities to 536 program participants and their family members. These apartments feature wide doorways, spacious bathrooms, and spacious hallways, allowing for easy access in wheelchairs. Grab bars are installed in the bathrooms. Electrical outlets, switches, and the electrical panel are mounted at the optimal height," said Ekaterina Solovieva.
The largest number of Muscovites who have signed documents for specially designed and equipped apartments under the renovation program live in the South-East, North, and East administrative districts. More than 350 people with disabilities and their families have signed contracts in the South-East, nearly 320 in the North, and over 300 in the East.
New buildings under the renovation program are also adapted for Muscovites with limited mobility: they have no steps from the entrance to the elevator, or they have lifting platforms installed. The courtyards have no steep slopes or curbs, and the pedestrian paths are designed to be easily accessible in a wheelchair.
