The "Infrastructure for Life" national project, launched in early 2025, aims to create a new quality of infrastructure, with housing as its central element. Since January, more than 2.4 million families in Russia have been able to improve their housing conditions, according to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
Providing citizens with high-quality, affordable housing is a fundamental task that directly impacts the well-being of millions of families and the country's demographic future. This work, coordinated by the Russian Ministry of Construction, involves a comprehensive approach, including the construction of new housing, the resettlement of residents from dilapidated housing, and the major renovation of apartment buildings. Thanks to this, more than 2.4 million Russian families have improved their housing conditions since the beginning of 2025 alone. And since 2019, this figure has exceeded 26 million families. Just yesterday, I reported to the President on the progress of our new national project, "Infrastructure for Living." Building on the achievements of previous years, the construction industry is confidently meeting its planned targets. The total volume of housing delivered in the first eight months of this year is 67.5 million square meters. We plan to deliver at least 100 million square meters by the end of the year. These figures are a practical contribution to achieving the President's goal of increasing average housing provision to 33 square meters per person by 2030," said Marat Khusnullin.
The Deputy Prime Minister added that the volume of housing under construction in the country is stable and currently stands at 120.3 million square meters. Urban development potential amounts to 467.6 million square meters, while the volume of housing under current construction permits is 174.8 million square meters.
"One of the measures to improve housing conditions is the resettlement of people from dilapidated buildings. This socially significant program, operated by the Territorial Development Fund, is showing impressive results: since 2019, more than 365,000 Russian families have moved into new homes, and nearly 15 million square meters of uninhabitable buildings have been demolished. Furthermore, a capital repair program helps prevent the premature aging of the housing stock and maintain buildings in good technical condition. Since 2019, work has been carried out in 222,000 apartment buildings with a total floor area of over 919 million square meters, home to over 35 million people. In the first eight months of this year alone, more than 14,000 buildings, home to 2.3 million people, have been repaired. The Fund, monitoring regional capital repair programs, continues to work with the Russian Ministry of Construction to improve this system," noted Vasily Kupyzin, CEO of the Territorial Development Fund.
