Need a few extra days in on-campus housing? We’ve got you covered.


Are you interested in remaining within on-campus housing for a few extra days after the end of the term?  You’ve come to the right place!  Housing & Residential Services (HRS) offers temporary housing extensions to undergraduate residents at a per-day housing rate. 

Below, please find answers to frequently asked questions.  If you’re seeking to live on campus for the entire summer, please visit our summer housing webpage for additional information.  As always, if you have any other questions related to on-campus housing, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the HRS team.


Who is eligible for an on-campus housing extension?

  • To be eligible, you must be living within an existing on-campus undergraduate housing assignment for the spring term.   We also ask that you have a legitimate purpose for requesting an on-campus housing extension (i.e. travel-related restrictions, transitioning to off-campus housing, etc.).   

How do I request a housing extension?

Are all extension requests granted?  

  • We seek to accommodate residents’ requests for temporary housing extensions, however, please know that housing extensions are not guaranteed.  As noted above, we ask that you have a legitimate purpose for requesting an on-campus housing extension (i.e. travel-related restrictions, transitioning to off-campus housing, etc.).  The extension request form will capture this information and you will receive a confirmation email after your extension request has been reviewed.

What if I’m a graduating senior?

  • If you’re a graduating senior, you don’t have to complete the housing extension request process. You’ll be able to remain within your existing on-campus housing assignment until the posted senior move-out date.   Unfortunately, extensions beyond this date cannot be granted for graduates.  

What is the latest date that I can extend housing?

  • The latest possible date that residents may request an extension until is Wednesday, May 25, 2022 at 12:00 pm (Noon) ET.  Please see important information below about the potential need for relocations to temporary alternative on-campus housing assignments.  

Can I remain in my spring housing assignment? 

  • Residents who require an extension beyond Saturday, May 21, 2022 at 12:00 pm (Noon) ET will be asked to relocate to a temporary housing assignment for the remainder of their housing extension because their spring assignment will be used to house summer residents.  If you are seeking a housing extension beyond the date above, please know that you are required to relocate or you may face a $595 late move-out charge (ouch!). 

How does housing extension billing work?

  • You will be charged a per-day rate for each additional day(s) that you remain in on-campus housing after the end of spring term housing.   If you do not completely move out by 12:00 pm (Noon) ET, you will be charged for one additional day.  For example, if you move out at 2:00 pm, you wll be charged for one additional day (through until 12:00 pm the next day).  All charges will be posted to your MITPay student account. 

What are the per-day housing extension rates?

  • Students who require a housing extension will be charged a per-day rate for each day(s) they remain in on-campus housing beyond the end of spring term housing.  HRS will receive the confirmed names of students who are volunteering to assist with annual Commencement exercises and these students will not be charged for their extended stay.  Rates are set according to building tier and room type.  Please see this year’s per-day housing extension rates below:

A Cloistered House, UK, by Turner Architects

In its renovation of an abandoned Georgian house in London, Turner Architects added a large rear extension that incorporates a pair of courtyards and a green roof.

The project, which was informed by monastic cloisters, contains a sequence of living spaces that leads out into the back garden. The courtyards are accessed through sliding doors, creating seamless links between the inside and outside when opened.

Staying in Paris, France, by Java Architecture

The vertical extension contains three storeys of living spaces and is animated with a mix of different facade treatments, including slatted wood screens and translucent polycarbonate panels.

House Recast, UK, by Studio Ben Allen

One of the most experimental extensions on this list belongs to the House Recast, a Victorian home in London that was renovated by Studio Ben Allen for a retired couple.

The project, which won the Don’t Move, Improve! 2021 contest, uses brightly coloured concrete for both its structural elements and decorative details. The architect said this was informed by the home’s original Victorian architecture.

Cottage on the Point, Canada, by Paul Bernier Architecte

This screened porch and stained cedar-clad volume were added to a rustic lakeside cabin in Quebec as part of a wider renovation project.

Paul Bernier Architecte designed the extensions to echo the rustic look of the existing dwelling without blending in with it. Both new additions also incorporate large portions of glazing that frame views of the surrounding trees and night skies.

Concrete Plinth House, UK, by DGN Studio

In east London, a Victorian semi-detached house was extended by DGN Studio to transform its dark north-facing kitchen into a bright and open room suited to gatherings.

The extension stands on a sunken concrete floor that is left exposed and designed to maximise ceiling height. It is complemented by navy kitchen units with concrete worktops and brightened by an exposed roof structure made from oak.

House for Theo and Oskar, UK, by Tigg + Coll Architects

Accessibility was a priority in the design of this house extension, which Tigg + Coll Architects carried out for a family with two children that have a rare muscular disorder.

The timber-roofed wing is accessible by wheelchair and contains facilities designed specifically for the children, Theo and Oskar, after whom the house is named. Its distinctive diagrid roof was engineered to help create spacious bedrooms and to also support hoists.

Malinka Gallery, Canada, by F2A Architecture

Balanced over steep bedrock in the Okanagan Valley, this mirrored house extension by F2A Architecture is used by its owner as a private art gallery.

Due to the uneven terrain of the rocky site, the extension is elevated on slim steel stilts and accessed via a glazed stairwell in the main house. Its stainless steel cladding was chosen to reflect the sky and the building’s wooded surroundings.

Rydon Street, UK, by Moxon Architects

Moxon Architects excavated the basement of a Victorian townhouse in London to create this pared-back rear extension and matching sunken garden.

The addition, which contains a spacious living area, occupies the full width of the plot and is finished with a crisp white material palette. The concrete brick walls and resin flooring extend outside to offer a seamless transition to the garden.

House B-L, Belgium, by Graux & Baeyens Architecten

House B-L is a 1960s home in Destelbergen that was expanded with a minimalist kitchen and living area by Graux & Baeyens Architecten for its co-founder Basile Graux.

The new wing is positioned at a slight angle to the original dwelling to maximise sunlight exposure. However, the old and new elements are unified by muted interior finishes and the same grey plywood cladding on their exteriors.

K&T’s Place, Australia by Nielsen Jenkins

A tactile material palette of exposed timber and blockwork characterises the semi-enclosed rear addition to K&T’s Place, a cottage owned by an artist and gallery director in Brisbane.

It was extended by Australian studio Nielsen Jenkins as part of a wider renovation of the dwelling and contains a series of occupiable landings that maximise space in the existing home. By exposing its construction materials, costs were also kept to a minimum.

  23. How does the municipality identify the affordable housing funds on the TID Final Accounting Report (Form PE-110)?


  24. Does DOR have a list of TIDs that were extended?



  1. What extension types are available for Tax Incremental Districts (TIDs)?

    There are three types of extensions: Standard, Technical College, and Affordable Housing. Each extension has different requirements and exclusions.

    1. Standard – allows an extension (three or four years from the TID’s maximum life, depending on TID type) if existing tax increments will not pay project costs within the TID maximum life
    2. Technical College – allows a three-year extension to the TID’s maximum life, if tax increments were negatively impacted by 2013 Act 145. The Act increased state aid to technical colleges and may have caused a decrease in tax increment revenue for some TIDs.
    3. Affordable Housing – allows an extension, up to one year from the resolution date, if the municipality uses the final year’s increment to benefit affordable housing

    For details on each extension type, review the
    TID Extension Types matrix.




  2. To extend the life of a TID, is the municipality required to complete the amendment process?

    No. The municipality is not required to complete the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) amendment forms or provide DOR an updated project plan. However, a municipality must document that the TID needs extra time to pay off existing debt or the TID has paid all its project costs and would like one additional year for affordable housing. The municipality must provide DOR an approved resolution for each extension type.




  3. When extending a TID’s life, what documents must a municipality provide to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR)?

    When the extension resolution is adopted, the municipality must email a scanned copy of the resolution to [email protected]. DOR then extends the TID life.




  4. When a municipality adopts an extension resolution to change the maximum life, does this change the expenditure period?

    No. An extension does not change the expenditure period. The expenditure period is five years shorter than the maximum life without the extension. For more information, see
    Municipal Expenditures and Debt Common Question #2.




  5. For the Standard or Technical College Extension, is the Joint Review Board (JRB) the only body that needs to approve the extension?

    Yes. The municipality must either present the JRB with documents showing the TID cannot repay project costs within its maximum life or provide the JRB with an independent audit. The JRB must adopt a resolution approving the extension.




  6. Can a municipality use a Standard Extension to lengthen the life of an industrial TID created between 1995 and 2004?

    No. The law has no Standard Extension for industrial TIDs created between 1995 and 2004. A municipality could consider requesting the Technical College Extension if it needs more time to pay off a TID’s existing debt. Other TID types not eligible for the Standard Extension are listed in the
    TID Extension Types matrix.




  7. Can a municipality request a Technical College Extension for a TID created before 2014 if it added project costs after 2014?

    Yes. If the TID was created before October 1, 2014, a municipality can request the 3-year Technical College Extension regardless of when the project costs were incurred or updated.




  8. Is the municipality required to inform the JRB when it adopts an Affordable Housing Resolution to extend the TID an additional year?

    No. The law does not require the municipality to notify the JRB; however, it would be beneficial for the municipality to inform the JRB of the Affordable Housing Extension.




  9. When can a municipality request the Affordable Housing Extension?

    A municipality can adopt an Affordable Housing Extension Resolution after it pays all the TID project costs. The Affordable Housing extension resolution must state the year the final tax increment was (or will be) received and describe how the funds will be used for affordable housing. The resolution can extend the TID’s life for up to one year from the resolution date.

    The municipality must adopt a separate termination resolution before receiving an additional year’s increment. April 15 is the deadline for a municipality to terminate a TID and have it removed from the same year’s tax roll. Review the
    Termination Timeframes table for additional details.




  10. Can a municipality adopt all three extension resolutions at the same time?

    No. The Standard and Technical College Extension resolutions are designed to allow more time to pay existing costs and debt. These can be adopted at the same time; however, a municipality cannot adopt an Affordable Housing Extension resolution until all costs are paid.




  11. Does a municipality considering the standard and technical college extensions have to adopt both at the same time (before the maximum life)?

    No. If the TID meets the criteria for both extension types, the municipality can adopt one of the extension resolutions and consider another before the end of the TID’s extended life.




  12. Is the JRB required to approve a Technical College extension for three years or can it approve the extension for one or two years?

    If the municipality provides an independent audit demonstrating the need for the extension, the JRB must approve the extension for three years.

    If the municipality does not provide an independent audit, the JRB can deny or approve the three year extension. When the JRB approves an extension of less than three years or denies the extension entirely, the municipality may complete an independent audit to show the full three years are needed.




  13. Is a municipality limited to using the affordable housing funds within the TID boundary?

    No. The funds can be used anywhere in the municipality; however, at least 75% must be used for affordable housing and the remainder on housing in general.




  14. What is affordable housing?

    State law defines “affordable housing” as housing that costs a household no more than 30% of the household’s gross monthly income.

    Example: for a household earning $900 per month, housing must be $270 or less to be considered affordable.




  15. Can a municipality consider additional restrictions on the housing? For example, can a municipality require housing costs less than the average household income?

    Yes, if the housing meets state law, the municipality can include additional requirements. A municipality should consult its attorney to confirm the proposed restrictions comply with state law.




  16. Does DOR have a list of eligible affordable housing costs?

    No. Each municipality must identify its affordable housing needs and develop a plan. State law requires a municipality to use the funds for affordable housing and to describe how it will use the funds in its affordable housing extension resolution. The municipality should consult its attorney to determine whether the planned costs comply with state law.




  17. Is a municipality required to use the affordable housing funds within one year?

    No. However, the municipality must remove the money from the TID fund to terminate the TID. The municipality should keep the funds separate for affordable housing use.




  18. Can a municipality extending a TID for affordable housing use the TID’s final shared revenue payments (exempt computer or personal property aid) for affordable housing?

    No. State law refers to using the final increment for affordable housing and does not mention using shared revenue payments for this purpose.




  19. Can a municipality extending a TID for affordable housing use more than one year of increment for affordable housing? Can the municipality use the entire surplus in the TID fund for affordable housing?

    No. The municipality may only use the amount of the final tax increment for affordable housing.




  20. Can a municipality extending a TID for affordable housing use a portion of the final increment to pay off costs and the remainder for affordable housing?

    Yes. The municipality must still follow all requirements for the affordable housing extension. The municipality must:

    • Use at least 75% of the amount set aside for affordable housing and the remaining 25% on housing in general
    • Adopt a resolution describing how it will use the funds and provide the resolution to DOR

    Example – TID’s final tax increment is $250,000. The municipality:

    • Uses $50,000 to pay remaining TID project costs (ex: final audit costs)
    • Uses the remaining $200,000 for the affordable housing extension
      • 75% (or $150,000) must be used on affordable housing
      • 25% (or $50,000) may be used on housing in general



  21. Is a TID eligible for the Affordable Housing Extension if its life was extended for other reasons (ex: declared distressed, donor to distressed, granted a Standard Extension or Technical College Extension)?

    Yes. A TID that extended its life for other reasons is eligible for the Affordable Housing Extension; however, only TIDs created under sec. 66.1105 Wis. Stats are eligible for the Affordable Housing Extension. Town TIDs (created under sec. 60.85 Wis. Stats.) and ER TIDs (created under sec. 66.1106 Wis. Stats.) are not eligible.




  22. Can a municipality adopt one resolution that includes both an Affordable Housing Extension and the TID termination?

    No. A municipality must complete separate resolutions. The Affordable Housing Extension Resolution must state the length of the extension, not to exceed 12 months from the date of the resolution. Before the Affordable Housing Extension period ends, the municipality must adopt a separate termination resolution. The termination resolution formally ends the TID.




  23. How does the municipality identify the affordable housing funds on the TID Final Accounting Report (Form PE-110)?

    The municipality can do either of the following:

    • Include the amounts in the appropriate category (ex: capital expenditures) if the municipality uses the funds before the TID terminates
    • Use “Transfers to other funds” or “Other expenditures” category if the municipality moves the funds to a separate account, for later use, after the TID terminates



  24. Does DOR have a list of TIDs that were extended?

    The
    Active TIDs report includes a column for the Life Extended date. Any TID with an extension shows a date in this column, which is the end of the TID’s extension period.

Extension Students | Campus Housing

If you are interested in privately-owned accommodations in the community, please be sure to contact UCSB Community Housing Services in advance of securing a place to stay for your time in Santa Barbara. Please also visit UCSB Extension’s Housing and International Student Life page for helpful information. Below are ten tips to have a successful housing experience while you are studying at UCSB. If you have a question please feel free to ask us. We’re here to help!

  1. Submit the Community Housing Office form as soon as possible. This will give us the opportunity to know what you are looking for and enable us to keep in contact with you prior to your arrival in Santa Barbara.
  2. Submit a “Roommate Available” post with your specific needs on the Community Housing Office rental listings website. This will allow students who are looking for roommates to find you. You can also begin searching the listings for possible places to live. (EAP students can utilize the listings website with their UCSB NetID and password; ISP students need to first register for an account on the listings website).
  3. Communicate via phone or email with the property providers about the lease/sublease. If you are subletting, make sure you are filling out the appropriate paperwork for a legal sublet. Be sure to ask if the lease is current and if there are any financial issues with the current lease or roommates. Get a copy of the lease and all other paperwork because you are ultimately responsible for the terms of the lease.
  4. Only commit with complete confidence and understanding of all details. If at all possible, view a place in person (or have a friend check it out) before signing a lease. We advise international students to arrive a few days early to finalize their living arrangements; for a list of nearby hotels, please visit our Overnight Accommodations page. If you do secure a place before your arrival, do so with the least amount of money possible to hold your space. Check with us before you send money and keep good records (financial transactions, emails, local addresses, phone numbers, etc.)
  5. Try to live with other UCSB students. As an international UCSB student, your schedule will be full and demanding. You will likely find a living situation with other UCSB students to be more compatible than with non-UCSB students.
  6. Meet your roommates. Be sure to “meet” potential roommates before you sign anything. If possible, video chat face to face with whom you might be living using Skype or Facetime. Ask questions about lifestyle, study habits, sleep schedule, etc. to get a sense of the household and where you might be living. Get pictures or a video of the place inside and out to get a better idea of the conditions.
  7. Get familiar with the location. Find out about the area where you will be living and ask about the immediate neighborhood. Del Playa and Sabado Tarde streets in Isla Vista, for example, are typically louder and more active than other areas.
  8. Budget for utilities. You will likely be expected to pay additional money for utilities (gas, electricity, etc.) for the place you will be renting. Be sure to ask how much they are on average so you have that information before you sign.
  9. Only pay for the time you are here. Make certain you do not sign a lease for longer than you are here. You should only agree to pay for the time you are here as an international student. Figure out partial month rent amounts by prorating the days you will be living in the unit. You are entitled to negotiate.
  10. Understand security deposits. A security deposit is money that a landlord requests in advance to protect them from loss. Do not pay cash. Pay by check so there will be a record of the payment. Write “security deposit” in the memo section. If possible, negotiate to pay a partial security deposit to hold your space and pay the remainder upon your arrival. If you do not have a domestic co-signer (required in most rentals), be prepared to pay a higher security deposit (often at least 2 times the amount of the monthly rent).

Additional information you should know:

  • Most places available in Isla Vista, the college town next to campus, tend to be pretty expensive. The average cost to share a room is $700, not including utilities or food. Most students share a room; if you are looking for a single room, the starting cost is about $950.
  • Rooms are typically not furnished, so be prepared to purchase beds, dressers, desks and other amenities. We have a list of local thrift stores where you can find these types of items.
  • The first thing you should do when you arrive is obtain a phone. Our office has compiled several local places to get a cell phone. You will need this to be able to secure a place to live.

Funding: Implemented with the involvement of federal funds. Included in the state program “Providing affordable and comfortable housing and utilities for citizens of the Russian Federation”

Tasks: financial support for young families in need of housing, financial assistance for the purchase of housing for young families at the birth of children.

Implementation period: 2015-2025.

Who can become a member of the subprogramme:

First of all, these lists include young families – participants of the subprogram, registered as in need of better housing conditions before March 1, 2005, as well as young families with 3 or more children.

Recognition of citizens in need of residential premises is carried out by local governments. This takes into account the total area of ​​the dwelling, in respect of which the citizen is the tenant (family member of the tenant) or the owner (family member of the owner). In addition, if a citizen and (or) members of his family have several residential premises occupied under social rental agreements and (or) owned by them, the determination of the level of provision with the total area of ​​​​the residential premises is carried out based on the total total area of ​​\u200b\u200ball these residential premises . Each municipality of the Nizhny Novgorod region has its own accounting norm for the area of ​​residential premises in order to register citizens as those in need of residential premises (approximately 10 square meters of total housing area per person).

What social payment can be used for:

  • to pay the price of the contract for the sale of residential premises;
  • to pay the price of a construction contract for the construction of an individual residential building;
  • for the payment of a down payment upon receipt of a housing loan, including a mortgage, or a housing loan for the purchase of a dwelling or the construction of an individual residential house;
  • to pay the price of an agreement with an authorized organization for the purchase in the interests of a young family of economy class residential premises in the primary housing market, including payment of the price of a contract for the sale of residential premises (in cases where this is provided for by the agreement) and (or) payment for the services of the specified organizations;

for a family of 2 (young spouses or 1 young parent and child) – 42 square meters;

for a family of 3 or more people, including 1 or more children in addition to young spouses (or a family consisting of 1 young parent and 2 or more children) – 18 square meters for each family member.

Contact: to participate in the Subprogram, a young family must apply to the local government (administration) at the place of permanent residence.

Attention! With the use of social benefits, a young family can purchase housing in any district of the Nizhny Novgorod region. The total area of ​​acquired housing per each member of a young family, taken into account when calculating the amount of social benefits, cannot be less than the accounting norm of the total area of ​​housing established by local governments in order to register citizens as those in need of improved housing conditions at the place of purchase (construction) housing.

Housing interest: preferential mortgages want to expand to the secondary housing | Articles

Preferential mortgages can be extended to secondary housing. With such an initiative, a deputy of the profile committee of the State Duma addressed the Prime Minister of Russia Mikhail Mishustin. Izvestia got acquainted with a copy of the letter. We are talking about those cities and towns where there are no new buildings. The proposal was supported by experts from the ONF and the public council under the Ministry of Construction, as well as business representatives. The Cabinet of Ministers told Izvestia that the letter had been sent for consideration to the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Finance. According to the Construction Sector Rating Agency (RASK), today housing construction is not carried out in 812 cities out of 1117, that is, about 70% of them are not covered.

Fundamental expansion

The current subsidized mortgage programs in Russia are aimed primarily at supporting demand in new buildings and do not apply to secondary housing . Among the most popular are preferential mortgages for new buildings at 7%. In the Family Mortgage program, an exception was made only for the Far Eastern Federal District, recalled Alexander Yakubovsky, member of the State Duma Committee on Construction and Housing and Utilities, head of the working group of the Presidium of the General Council of United Russia on protecting the rights of equity holders, in a letter to the head of government (Izvestia has the document) .

In settlements where developers do not build new housing, citizens cannot use state support. This puts them in unequal conditions compared to residents of cities where there are new buildings, the document says. “Rural mortgage”, which applies to secondary housing, cannot be used in settlements with a population of more than 30 thousand people, said Alexander Yakubovsky.

The parliamentarian proposed to develop a separate preferential mortgage program for secondary housing in settlements where there is no active housing construction. Or consider the possibility to extend to these territories the effect of all available targeted preferential programs for the secondary housing . For example, family mortgages, programs for the poor, young professionals, doctors, and so on. At the same time, the purchase of apartments in houses recognized as emergency should be limited, the deputy added.

In the Cabinet of Ministers, Izvestia was informed that the letter had been received by the government apparatus and sent for processing to the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Construction . The Ministry of Finance has not yet received a proposal, the department said.

The idea of ​​extending preferential programs and targeted support programs for citizens to secondary housing requires detailed study, including taking into account the need to ensure safety, quality, and comfort of living, the Ministry of Construction noted . Upon receipt of the initiative for consideration, the department will present its position in the prescribed manner, Izvestia was told at the ministry.

The editors also sent a request to the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.

70% without new buildings

As Izvestia was told in RASK, today developers do not build housing in 812 cities out of 1117, that is, in more than 70% of the country’s cities. For example, in Bratsk, Ust-Ilimsk and Ust-Kut of the Irkutsk region, not a single apartment building has been built over the past three years, Alexander Yakubovsky noted.

— The fact that the government should think about modifying the preferential mortgage program and extending it to secondary housing under certain conditions, I said last year. It is necessary that the support of Russian families, and not developers, be at the forefront, – said Nikolai Alekseenko, deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee for Construction and Housing and Communal Services.

The implementation of the idea should be approached with the utmost care: to define clear criteria under which preferential programs will apply to secondary housing , he said. Otherwise, there is a risk of accelerating the heating of the real estate market , stressed Nikolay Alekseenko.

Uneven housing construction leads to significant migration and demographic imbalances, said Pavel Sklyanchuk, an expert on the thematic platform of the ONF “Housing and Urban Environment”. You also need to take into account that more than half of the apartments in new buildings are odnushki, and if children are born in the family, she has to buy a larger apartment. ONF came up with a similar proposal, since the state should take into account these factors and maintain the availability of housing in the primary and secondary markets, he stressed.

According to Vladimir Koshelev, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Construction and Housing and Communal Services, an indefinite preferential mortgage should also be launched at a level not exceeding 5% for mass housing in new buildings. This will allow to stabilize supply and demand in the market in 2022, citizens in conditions of moderate economic growth to start saving, which will reduce the rush, and developers to increase supply, the deputy believes.

A question of demand

In regions where there are no new buildings, subsidized mortgages for the secondary housing will not only improve the living conditions of citizens, but also increase the liquidity of such objects, believes the chairman of the commission on project financing of the public council under the Ministry of Construction Rifat Garipov. Also, an increase in dynamics in the secondary market will allow more active write-off of the dilapidated and emergency fund, he believes.

In the context of the rapid growth of the average cost per square meter and mortgage rates, the expansion of benefits is becoming increasingly important, Ildar Khusainov, director of the federal company Etazhi, is sure. Possible disadvantage – lack of stimulation of the development of new construction , he added.

It is possible that the situation will develop by analogy with the primary housing market, when prices increased due to rising demand , said Vladimir Morebis, commercial director and partner of Est-a-Tet.

– But in general, stimulating consumer activity through preferential mortgages in the secondary market can trigger many positive processes. Potentially, this may also lead to the stimulation of new construction due to the growth in demand,” says Oleg Kolchenko, managing partner, shareholder of Osnova Group.

So far, the project financing model does not allow developing construction in regions with low purchasing power of the population, and such are the majority, said Elena Kiseleva, head of the Delovaya Rossiya subcommittee on urban planning policy in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, Ombudsman for national projects in the field of urban planning policy. Therefore, it is necessary to make changes in the criteria for the admission of developers to such loans, she believes. In the meantime, this has not happened, as a temporary measure, it is possible to introduce preferential mortgages for secondary housing, where there are no new buildings, for example, for five years, Elena Kiseleva believes.

Improve housing: who cannot be excluded from the list of those in need

Illustration: Pravo.ru/Petr Kozlov

Roman and Elena Ivanov* lived with their mother in an apartment of 47.5 sq. m. m. In it, the brother and sister were registered from childhood, and in 2004 they received a 1/3 share in the property. In 2009, the daughter married Dmitry Gorin *, they had a child. The young family did not have their own housing, they lived with their mother-in-law. And after a while, brother Roman got half of the house with an area of ​​​​71.3 square meters. m.

In 2012, the Gorins were registered as a young family to improve their living conditions. Officials proceeded from the norm of living space, which was approved by the local council of deputies (12 sq. M. For 1 person in the apartment). Five were supposed to have housing with an area of ​​​​60 square meters, and the apartment was smaller.

A year later, the Gorins had a second child, he was also registered in the mother-in-law’s apartment. And a year later (in 2014), the head of the family decided to register there. The district administration considered that he did it on purpose to worsen living conditions. Therefore, they decided not to take him into account for receiving benefits, but to consider that the family consists of three people (mother and two children): “The husband of the administrative plaintiff was excluded from the family … It was decided to consider the composition of the Gorina family of three people (she and minor children) “.

families were on the lists, and then they were excluded

And then the officials found out what else the Gorins were guilty of. In 2019, they were excluded from the list of those in need of better housing conditions. A special commission under the administration of the Kingisepp district of the Leningrad region found out that Elena’s brother received 1/2 of the share in the house, and decided that this area should also be taken into account. And with it, each member of the Gorin family accounted for more than the accounting norm for the region. So, they are not included in the list of those in need.

Position of three courts

But Elena Gorina did not agree with this, she decided to challenge the administration’s decision to exclude her family from the list of those in need. In order to be reinstated in the lists of participants in housing programs, she went to court.

Practice

Gorina indicated that they did not move in with her brother. The fact that he became the owner of part of the house did not affect her family, who still huddled in a small apartment.

The administration assured the court that the Gorins should not have been included in the list of those in need at all. In 2012 (when the family was given the green light to be included), the specialists did not know that her brother had other property. Officials insisted that since Gorina lives with her brother, they are members of the same family.

The Kingisepp City Court agreed with the defendant and decided that the administration had every reason to exclude Gorina and her children from the list of those in need of better living conditions. The decision was overpowered by the appeal and cassation. Then the woman complained to the Supreme Court (case No. 33-КАД20-3-К3)

A relative, but not a family member

The case was considered by a trio of judges chaired by Vladimir Khamenkov. According to paragraph 6 of part 1 of Art. 56 of the Housing Code (“Deregistration of citizens as those in need of residential premises”), it is possible to delete from the lists of those in need if it turns out that citizens have provided false information, the Supreme Court indicated. But the Gorins did not report false data.

At the same time, the SC drew attention to the wording “family members”. These include spouses, children and parents of the owner of the dwelling. Other relatives can be recognized as family members if the owner of the apartment himself moved them in – that is, Gorina had to invite her brother to live with her. But in the controversial apartment, the brother and sister lived from childhood. The housing belonged to their mother, they received equal shares there, she did not move her brother into the apartment.

The mere fact that a sister is related to her brother does not indicate that they are members of the same family. This does not mean that the area of ​​the house belonging to the brother should be taken into account when determining the provision of housing for Gorina and her children, the Supreme Court pointed out.

The Supreme Court noted that Gorina was excluded from the list only because she allegedly had another dwelling (a share in the house that belonged to her brother). Consequently, the lower authorities had no reason to refuse Gorina’s claim. The Supreme Court canceled the acts of three instances and adopted a new decision on the case: it satisfied Gorina’s administrative claim, recognizing the decision to exclude the family from the lists of those in need of housing as illegal.

The problem is in the formal approach

Executive authorities are “deliberately trying to cut their costs and reduce the waiting list,” says Yuri Netreba, head of the judicial defense practice of the Moscow Arbat Bar Association

. Back in 2012, the Ombudsman for Human Rights in Moscow described similar cases in his report. As an example, he cited a situation where a man and his daughter were excluded from the register because the wife had additional living space. The Commissioner pointed out that her income and property status should not be taken into account, since she was not registered with her husband and daughter and was not registered as needy.

cites another example. There it turned out that the dissolution of the marriage did not actually affect the applicant’s living conditions (case no. 33-35560/2020).

Practice

On formal grounds, officials refuse not only those who need better housing conditions, but also other beneficiaries, says Netreba. For example, they refuse to recognize citizens as poor or, as in case No. 33-33785/2020, do not issue a certificate for a large family. The executive authorities decided that the husband and wife live in different regions, since they have different registrations – in Moscow and the Moscow region. Only through the courts did they manage to defend the right to the preferential status of a large family, which is due despite registration at different addresses.

Who is considered to be in need of better living conditions?

The list of grounds on which citizens are recognized as in need of better housing conditions is contained in Art. 51 LCD:

  • the area of ​​housing per each family member is less than the accounting norm;
  • housing does not meet the requirements established for residential premises;
  • several families live in the same apartment and one of its members suffers from a severe form of a chronic disease, in which it is impossible to live together with him in the same apartment;
  • no accommodation.

The classification of citizens as those in need of better housing conditions is regulated not only by the LCD, but also by regional legislation, Voskresenskaya notes. According to the law “On Ensuring the Right of Residents of the City of Moscow to Housing”, residents can be recognized as needing housing if they are:

  • citizens of Russia;
  • have been legally residing in Moscow for a total of at least 10 years;
  • did not commit, in the five years preceding the filing of the application, actions that led to the deterioration of housing conditions, as a result of which they may be recognized as needing housing;
  • are recognized as poor (Article 7 of the law).

But getting into the registry is not the whole problem. According to the Civic Chamber, in 2020 there were 2.5 million families in the country who are waiting in queues for housing under various programs. At the same time, the average waiting time in the list for improving housing conditions is about 20 years. It is possible that the Gorins will have to wait a very long time for help from the state.

How to get an apartment from the state for free

What can you get from the state?

The country is ready to support citizens in need in one of the following ways:

  • provide housing;
  • issue a subsidy that can be used to buy real estate.

The option depends on the category to which the person belongs, the number of people in the queue, the region of registration and wishes. Territorially, the standards for meters per tenant and the monetary minimum vary, but the general procedure is the same for the whole country.

Subsidy

The amount of the subsidy can be spent on a small apartment or invested in a mortgage. In Moscow, social mortgages using state subsidies are issued by Sberbank, Absolut Bank and other institutions.

The amount of the subsidy is determined taking into account the average cost of a meter and the norm of 18 sq.m per person.

The amount of assistance will vary depending on the region and the number of people in the resettled family. The amount of financing varies from 30% to 70% of the property value. Also, the issued money can be directed to the construction of a house.

Ready-made housing

Ready-made housing is provided under a social tenancy agreement or for rent (a contract for the tenancy of residential premises of the housing fund for social use).

Under a social tenancy agreement, housing is privatized over time, changed or sold. The contract is open-ended (Article 60 of the LC RF).

Renting a dwelling implies the registration of an encumbrance, while the dwelling will not become the property of the tenant. The contract is concluded for a period of 1 to 10 years. After 5 years of residence, relations with the state are transferred to a social contract of employment.

Depending on the option of obtaining housing, payment differs (Articles 154 and 156.1 of the RF LC):

  • under a residential lease agreement, the amount of payment consists of the cost of construction, reconstruction, acquisition of real estate and utility bills;
  • under a social tenancy agreement, the payment includes payment for accommodation and utilities.

Who can get an apartment for free and how?

Solving the problem “How to get housing from the state?” depends on the category to which the needy belongs.

The waiting list for an apartment for the poor

We are talking about people who live in state-owned apartments under a social contract and do not have the opportunity to independently improve their living conditions due to low income. If the square meters per person are less than the norm, the tenants can legally disperse.

Area standards vary by region, but cannot be less than the federal sanitary minimum of 6 sq.m.

To determine if a tenant needs an extension, you will need a certificate of registration. The paper indicates the number of registered and the footage of the apartment. Calculate how many meters per person and compare with the standard in your area. To obtain a document, only a passport is required. You need to contact the registration authority (passport office).

You also need to confirm the status of the poor. Social services evaluate the financial situation based on the income of working family members and property. The income per person should not exceed the subsistence minimum established in the region. Threshold values ​​in each region are different.

The absence of own apartment or house is checked separately. The applicant must not be the spouse or child of a person who owns housing (who rents an apartment under a social contract).

Low-income people who have not received state assistance up to this point can join the waiting list for an apartment.

An apartment from the state for people with chronic diseases

People with health problems who require separate living from their relatives can receive free housing from the state. The need to care for such patients increases the number of meters due, especially if the guardian is of the opposite sex.

The list of diseases includes:

  • tuberculosis with bacterial excretion;
  • malignancies with secretions;
  • chronic mental disorders with painful manifestations and some others.

Disabled people also have the right to improve their living conditions (according to Federal Law No. 181-FZ). This takes into account the location of the house and its distance from hospitals, places of residence of relatives, etc.

Accommodation for the disabled is equipped in accordance with individual requirements for rehabilitation. Wheelchair users must be accommodated in an apartment on the first floor. State support is also manifested in the provision of a discount of at least 50% on utilities.

To obtain real estate, you must contact the relevant department of the local administration with a paper indicating information about the apartment where the sick person lives, the number of registered and total area. Another mandatory document is a medical report. It will also require the conclusion of the guardianship and guardianship authorities.

Obtaining an apartment by orphans

Not only children whose parents have died are recognized as orphans, but also those whose father and mother were deprived of parental rights.

An orphan who has reached the age of majority, but not older than 23, can receive an apartment free of charge.

After the age of 23, it is too late to apply, but if the place in the queue was taken before reaching this age, the person will receive legal meters.

In order to receive government assistance, you will have to confirm your status. The following documents will help:

  • parents’ death certificates;
  • decision to terminate parental rights;
  • custody order;
  • guardian’s certificate;
  • certificate from the institution where the applicant lived (for example, from an orphanage).

To receive an apartment from the state, an orphan must not have his own housing. Also, the authorities may refuse if the orphan lives with a guardian in an apartment under a social tenancy agreement, and at the same time the norm for footage is observed.

You need to contact the local administration and guardianship and guardianship authorities. In the regions, the responsibility for resolving the housing issue is distributed among these organizations.

Waiting list for an apartment for veterans

Federal Law No. 5-FZ “On Veterans” specifies the right of needy veterans to receive preferential housing. In this case, we are talking about different categories:

  • veterans of the Great Patriotic War;
  • disabled veterans of the Second World War;
  • combat veterans;
  • labor veterans and a number of others.

Participants of the Great Patriotic War have the right to be provided with housing once, while housing is provided regardless of their property status (Article 15 No. 5-FZ).

An apartment from the state for military personnel

The right to improve housing conditions for military personnel is prescribed in the Federal Law No. 76-FZ “On the Status of Military Personnel” and in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 512.

During the service, the military family is entitled to free square meters in accordance with the norm per person. The state undertakes to select a suitable apartment within 3 months from the moment the serviceman arrives at his destination. It is impossible to privatize such housing, it remains the property of the Ministry of Defense.

A serviceman receives an apartment free of charge in case (Article 15 of the law “On the Status of Servicemen”):

  • if the contract was signed before January 1, 1998 (except for cadets) and the family does not have decent housing;
  • if the contractor leaves the service due to age, health status or due to staff changes, and at the same time the service life is at least 10 years.

Assistance can be obtained in the form of a subsidy for the purchase of real estate or construction, and the receipt of finished housing is allowed under a social contract.

It’s not just the military who have a “professional” argument about housing. Under a social contract of employment in some regions, teachers, doctors and people of other socially significant professions can get an apartment.

Resettlement of emergency housing and communal apartments

Communal apartments are resettled in accordance with regional programs. Residents themselves must apply to the administration with documents confirming poor living conditions, and stand in line. When the queue comes up, the person will receive square meters in accordance with the regional norm. In most cases, this will also be a communal apartment.

Those living in a communal apartment can apply for a subsidy for the purchase of new real estate.

If you team up with your neighbors, one of the families can buy the other’s rooms for the amount of the subsidy provided, then everyone will benefit.

Residents of emergency houses receive housing from the state in accordance with the lists of the administration. Each region has its own list of houses that should be settled in the current year. At the same time, residents do not need to apply to local authorities themselves. You can find out about resettlement in your area on the Housing and Public Utilities Reform website.

If living conditions leave much to be desired, but the house is not on the list for the nearest resettlement, residents will have to wait a very long time. To speed up the process, a group of owners needs to unite and prove the impossibility of living in this house to a special expert commission.

When moving out of apartments used under a social tenancy agreement, the family will receive a new area in accordance with the norms in the region. If tenants who bought square meters in the usual way are relocated, the new living space will not differ from the old one in terms of footage, even if 10 people were registered in a one-room apartment.

Nuances of obtaining housing

In order to receive an apartment or a subsidy from the state, in addition to documents confirming the right to a benefit, you will need a passport, a certificate of family composition, a paper with the characteristics of the apartment, proof of income and a document on the absence of real estate. The local administration may request other documents if necessary.

The main criterion for obtaining preferential housing is the recognition of a person as in need of better housing conditions, as well as recognition as a poor person. Serious illness, veteran status and other reasons affect the speed of obtaining housing. Orphans, veterans and other privileged categories of citizens receive apartments for months, while “ordinary” people in need can spend decades in line.

Intentionally worsening living conditions in order to fall into the category of needy will result in a delay of 5 years in the waiting list. Therefore, it is not worth selling or changing an apartment with the expectation of state assistance.

Resume

It is realistic to get an apartment for free if you belong to the category of beneficiaries, are ready to confirm your status and have patience to collect documents. It is easier to take money from the state to buy a home than to get ready-made real estate.
