In 2025, the city provided comfortable apartments to approximately 900 orphans who had reached adulthood. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

"We focus on comprehensive support for children left without parental care. Our assistance system covers all stages of a child's life, taking into account their upbringing and health conditions. A key element of this support is supporting children during their transition to independent living. This is the responsibility of specialists from post-orphanage foster care services: they help them apply for benefits, manage their budget, choose a career, enroll in college or university, and overcome personal psychological difficulties. And when a young person turns 18—regardless of whether they grew up in a foster family or in a center for orphans—everyone recognized as needing housing can count on receiving their own home. In 2025, approximately 900 young men and women received the keys to their own comfortable apartments," noted Anastasia Rakova.

A special commission determines eligibility for housing. An apartment is provided if the ward does not have their own living space or cannot live there for certain reasons.

"The city annually provides apartments to orphans and children left without parental care, for whom the housing commission has issued positive decisions. This work is carried out according to plan. In collaboration with the capital's Department of Labor and Social Protection, we ensured that the contract is signed and keys are handed over during a single appointment at a convenient time. Electronic communication between executive authorities in this process has reduced the cycle from apartment viewing to contract signing by 42 percent," she said.

Ekaterina Solovieva, Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital's Department of City Property.

On the portal “My New Family” in the section My Home Detailed information on the terms of real estate provision has been published, along with a list of documents required for review. All apartments provided to orphans and children left without parental care upon reaching the age of 18 have been renovated. After five years, the housing can be re-registered under a social tenancy agreement and subsequently privatized.

The transition to independent living is an important milestone for every young person. To ensure this transition is as comfortable as possible, Moscow has created a dedicated support system. Today, over 20 post-care home foster care services operate in the capital. Specialists advise graduates on applying for benefits and payments, explain how to budget wisely and settle into a new apartment, and help them choose a career and an educational institution. Employment is a particular focus: young people are supported not only during their job search but also as they adapt to their new environment. If graduates have complex issues, lawyers and psychologists are available to assist, if necessary.

During the adaptation phase to independent living, a wide range of support measures are available for young men and women. These can be found on a dedicated service. A Guide to Adulthood on the portal "My New Family".
