A ceremony was held in Shymkent to hand over keys to 55 apartments in the Asar-2 neighbourhood. Shymkent Mayor Gabit Syzdykbekov took part.
The apartments are provided for rent with the option of buying them later. Recipients include people with disabilities, large and single-parent families, parents raising children with special needs, widows, orphans and children left without parental care.
The housing support arrangement allows families to live in an apartment and later buy it, giving them the prospect of becoming its full owners.
