165 orphaned children from Nizhny Novgorod took advantage of the payment for purchasing housing.

      On April 29, 2026, at 13:16 Society In the budget of the Nizhny Novgorod region for 2026, more than 2 billion rubles are allocated for providing housing for orphaned children. This was reported by the NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" in the regional Ministry of Social Development and Family Policy. They reminded that since October 2025, an additional support measure has been in place in the region - a payment for the purchase of housing for orphaned children aged 18 and older. In 2026, the funding for this direction has been increased sixfold compared to the previous year. According to the ministry, 165 orphaned children have already benefited from the payment and purchased housing. This has completely exhausted the funds allocated for this support measure for 2026. "Accordingly, at this moment, all planned certificates for this year have been issued," the ministry noted. It should be noted that the regional payment is an alternative way of providing housing. At the same time, recipients retain the right to receive housing under federal legislation. It was previously reported that Nizhny Novgorod orphans participating in the SVO will receive priority rights to housing. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has channels on Telegram and MAX.
