Shymkent Expands Affordable Housing Options for Citizens
Shymkent hands over keys to new apartments for 30 families, enhancing affordable housing options in the city.
In Shymkent, efforts to provide citizens with affordable housing are ongoing. An additional 30 families have received keys to apartments in new residential buildings. The key handover ceremony was attended by the city's mayor, Gabit Syzdykbekov.
The apartments are located in the districts of Akzhaik, Bozaryk, and Asar-2. These houses have been commissioned, are connected to necessary utilities, and meet established construction standards.
Eligible for these housing options are citizens who have demonstrated financial solvency. Among them are individuals with disabilities, large families, single-parent families, and employees of state-funded organizations.
It's worth noting that providing apartments under preferential conditions offers additional opportunities for city residents to address their housing needs. The Shymkent city administration will continue its efforts to develop housing stock and increase housing accessibility.
