• У муниципалитетов большое поле ответственности в жилищной сфере

• В России практически не было муниципальной жилищной политики

At the beginning of 90-s

• Deteriorating economic conditions in Russia caused a massive, "one-time" transfer of company housing to municipalities,

• municipalities became the key homeowners in Russia,

• but usually without adequate financing for maintenance of their housing stock. Municipalities were not ready to maintain these old houses and did not hurry to take it.

Изменение задач муниципалитетов

• Обеспечение муниципальным жильем всех

• Забота о повышении качества муниципального жилья

• Забота только об «особых группах • жителей»• Тесное взаимодействие с социальной

Housing problems of municipalities

Municipalities do not have enough flats• The quality of municipal housing stock is rather

low • Up to 80% of all municipal flats could be

considered as the dilapidated housing stock• Municipalities have no own money for major

repairing works• State Repairing Fund provided some money for

repairing works under very serious conditions

Municipal problems in the housing field

• Municipalities have no money for new housing construction

• Not enough capacities for provision of electricity or water

• Anti-social behavior and vandalism of residents

Зачем муниципалитету свое жилье?

• Это его собственность, его имущество

• Возможность предоставления жилья социально-незащищенным семьям и ключевым работникам

• Чем выше доля муниципального жилья в многоквартирном доме – тем легче создавать «ручные ТСЖ»

Block 4. Housing Reforms - Shift from paternalistic to market housing policy

• Transfer of responsibilities for personal housing conditions from the state to citizens

• Support only “vulnerable” groups of population

• Privatization of the housing stock and creation of housing market

Социальные квартиросъемщики в

России • Ими могут быть только малоимущие граждане • Они признаются таковыми органом местного

самоуправления • «с учетом дохода, приходящегося на каждого

члена семьи, и стоимости имущества, находящегося в собственности членов семьи и подлежащего налогообложению»

• В некоторых городах для этих категорий малоимущих жителей стали переделывать общежития

Почему люди не приватизируют жилье?

• Нежелание «возиться с приватизацией»

• Нет особой нужды

• Нет времени

• плохое качество муниципального жилья – «нечего приватизировать»

Почему люди не приватизируют квартиры

• Семейные конфликты и отсутствие договоренности относительно будущих прав собственности

• Пожилые люди боятся, что приватизированная квартира станет для кого-то привлекательной, и они просто окажутся на улице

• Пожилые и иные социально-незащищенные люди полагают, что если они останутся в статусе нанимателей, то государство поможет им с содержанием жилищ и расходами на коммунальные платежи

Наниматели в ТСЖ

• От них пора избавиться!

• Надо заставить приватизировать квартиры!

• Опыт Томска!
