The Ministry of Construction reported to the newspaper that as part of the execution of the presidential order to expand family mortgages for the purchase of secondary housing in rural areas, as well as settlements with a population of up to 250 thousand people, the department proposed to introduce a program only for those locations where there are no new buildings. An official instruction to extend the preferential mortgage program to secondary housing has not yet been received.

Earlier, the Ministry of Construction has repeatedly noted that the spread of mortgage programs with state support requires budgetary funds.

Anything can be launched, but funding sources must be identified. For example, regions where housing construction is slow, subsidize such mortgages for certain categories of citizens living there.— said the deputy head of the Ministry of Construction Nikita Stasishin in an interview «Interfax».

In turn, the head of the Ministry of Construction, Irek Fayzullin, reported that measures to support developers are working effectively in the country, but not everywhere.

More than 600 cities in our country out of 1117 have practically zero volume of housing commissioning. This is a serious problem. But, unfortunately, not a single financial instrument works in these territories. If we do not do this (we support demand — IF), we will simply lose these citiesthe minister complained.
