OREANDA-NEWS. July 11, 2013. Due to the realization of the State Program of Economic Revitalization the volume of construction in Ukraine is projected to increase by 7-8% annually. This was started by Minister of Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Communal Services of Ukraine Gennadiy Temnyk.

He participated in a meeting chaired by vice Prime Minister of Ukraine Olexandr Vilkul, where he reported on the implementation of the State program of Economic Revitalization for 2013-2014.

In the construction sector, according to Gennady Temnyk, the implementation of Affordable Housing social initiative of the President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych is one of the strategic directions of the Ministry.

The core is the creation of conditions to provide people with housing. At present, four public housing programs are being actively implemented in Ukraine, and about UAH 0.7 billion is provided to spend for these programs from the state budget in this year. This makes it possible to provide with housing 6700 families," the Minister said.

He also informed that the increase in housing finance is expected by attracting credit resources guaranteed by the state. This will be put into operation about 54 thousand apartments and provide with housing 160 thousand citizens.

According to our plans for the deployment of construction in regions of affordable housing microdistricts at prospective plots of land, today construction on the 9 pilot sites in Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Kharkov, Sevastopol, Mykolaiv regions and cities of Kyiv have began.
