46 Families in Shymkent Receive Keys to New Apartments

Forty-six families have been handed the keys to rental apartments in the Asar-2 neighborhood of Shymkent. The ceremony was held as part of ongoing efforts to provide housing for residents.

These apartments are allocated from the municipal housing fund to citizens from socially vulnerable groups. This includes people with disabilities, single-parent families, families raising children with special needs, large families, as well as orphans and children without parental care.

The Mayor of the city, Gabit Syzdykbekov, participated in the ceremonial event, congratulating the new residents on this significant milestone and highlighting that systematic work is being executed in this area.

“Providing citizens with affordable and quality housing is one of the key priorities of state policy. Owning a home is not just a new beginning for each family, but also a foundation for stability, confidence in the future, and well-being,” noted the Mayor, citing Gabit Syzdykbekov's remarks.

Overall, last year 1,529 apartments were purchased on the market for citizens from socially vulnerable categories. Currently, some of these have been taken on balance, while the rest are undergoing registration procedures and are being distributed through the Otbasy Bank JSC. Since the beginning of the year, out of the 235 apartments distributed, 117 have already been handed over to residents. Today, another 46 families received housing, and the remaining apartments will be provided to citizens on the waiting list in the near future.

By the end of 2025, 1,381,000 square meters of housing were commissioned in Shymkent, indicating steady progress in housing development and the implementation of the President’s directives to ensure accessible housing for the population.
