“About 25,000 citizens displaced from Karabakh have acquired real estate in Armenia with state support or are in the home construction phase.”
This was stated by Gayane Gharageozyan, adviser to the RA minister of labor and welfare.
According to her, under the state housing support program certificates for 9,042 families have already been approved, covering about 37,000 people. Of them, 5,372 families have already used their certificates.
“At this moment it is quite an active period both in terms of applications and in terms of the use of certificates,” Gharageozyan said.
She added that of the families that received certificates, 396 have chosen the home construction option, of which 107 have already used their certificates.
“But now we have a situation where ready-made houses on the secondary market seem to be exhausted, and most of our beneficiaries now rely on the construction component,” she said.
The most certificates have been used in Kotayk Province. According to the data presented, 1,534 families have acquired homes there. They are followed by Armavir and Ararat provinces with 830 and 740 families respectively. In Yerevan, 537 families have used certificates.
“Lori and Syunik with figures of 442 and 264, in Gegharkunik we have 204 families, in Shirak 191, in Aragatsotn 184, in Tavush 111, in Vayots Dzor 74 families, which have used their certificates,” she detailed.
Addressing concerns about rising real estate prices, she stressed that the problem mainly concerns Yerevan, where the amount of support envisaged by the program is 3 million drams per family member.
