Despite the war, Ukrainians must pay housing and communal services on time. Citizens of Ukraine who cannot pay for utilities on their own can apply for a housing subsidy. The publication “In Retirement” told who can count on receiving a subsidy if there are extra square meters of living space.

If a person lives in a large apartment and receives a small pension, then he can apply for a subsidy to pay for the excess housing area.

Thus, the social housing standard within which a subsidy is provided is 13.65 sq.. m per person and 35.22 sq.. m per family:.

one person can receive a subsidy for 48.87 sq.. m,.

family of two – 62.52 sq.. m,.

and a family of three – 76.17 sq..

If the apartment is larger, it should be taken into account that pensioners and other disabled people can receive a subsidy even for a larger area.

So, for preferential categories, the area norm will be increased by 30%, but not more than the actual. Thus, one person can receive a subsidy for 63.53 sq.. m, a family of two – 81.27 sq.. m, and a family of three – 99 sq..

We previously wrote about whether a housing subsidy can be awarded if there is arrears in paying utility bills.

Let us remind you whether social payments received by a person are taken into account if he applies for a subsidy.
