In an interview with PrimeMinister.kz, Chairman of the Committee on Youth and Family Affairs of the Ministry of Information and Social Development Madiyar Kozhakhmet spoke in more detail about the rules for the provision of rental housing without the right to purchase for working youth under 29 years old.
As noted by Kozhakhmet, annually in the next three years, 3 thousand rental apartments for working youth will be issued in Nur-Sultan, Almaty and Shymkent.
“The main purpose of issuing this housing is to support working youth in order to give them the opportunity to save up for their own housing. This measure does not imply support for socially vulnerable groups. The main task is to support working youth,” Kozhakhmet said.
In November 2019, the application process will start. Reception will be held in electronic format.
The chairman of the Committee on Youth and Family Affairs also listed the main criteria for obtaining this housing.
First, the applicant must work.
Second — the age of the applicant should not exceed 29 years.
Third — wages should be above 100 thousand tenge.
Fourth — the presence of a deposit account in any of the second-tier banks.
Fifth — lack of housing.
At the same time, Kozhakhmet drew attention to the most important criterion — the presence of a permanent job for the applicant.
“According to the law, working youth are all those who work — after school, after college, after high school. In this regard, there will be no special restrictions or advantages for those who have this or that education. The most important thing is that it works. That is, it can be served already from the age of 18, while the young man must work on a regular basis, with full-time employment,” said the chairman of the committee.
He also added that for 5 years a young man must work and must confirm every year that he works. If for some reason he quits and does not attempt to find a job, the question of eviction will be raised.
“If everything is clear by the four criteria, then the third criterion may raise the question of why wages should be higher than 100 thousand tenge. The calculation here was made on the basis that housing will be issued for a period of 5 years. Within 5 years, the cost of housing will be about 10 thousand tenge, plus housing services 20 thousand tenge. We assumed that in the region of 60 thousand tenge he would spend on his needs. He will save the rest of the difference from 20 to 30 thousand tenge every month. Then within 5 years it will be able to accumulate approximately 1.8 million tenge, not counting government premiums, interest on the deposit. This amount should be enough to purchase your own home. 2 million tenge is even enough under the 7-20-25 program to buy primary own housing,” Kozhakhmet explained.
If young people meet these five criteria, they can apply. Applicants will be required to submit the following documents to the Youth Policy Office:
The package of documents must be checked within five business days. Another day is given if not all certificates are collected from the applicant. After the documents are submitted, from November in Nur Sultan, Almaty and Shymkent housing will be distributed. Akimats within 10 working days should calculate points and make a list of applicants. The more points, the higher the probability of getting an apartment.
What points are awarded for:
Ceteris paribus, applicants who apply earlier will have an advantage.
After the decision is made in the akimat, an employment contract will be concluded within 15 calendar days. Apartments are provided for 5 years without the right of redemption.
