Armenia Announces Rent Compensation for Vulnerable Families Displaced from Karabakh
The Armenian government has launched a partial rent compensation program to assist select families displaced from Karabakh. The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs has outlined the eligibility criteria, and applications are now being accepted through a dedicated online platform.
Armenia's Minister of Labor and Social Affairs, Arsen Torosyan, announced that specific vulnerable groups displaced from Karabakh will benefit from a new partial rent compensation initiative. This financial support is specifically designed for refugee families who have either waived their right to participate in the broader state housing provision program or have officially canceled their housing certificates.
Eligibility Criteria for Applicants
According to the Ministry, the program is open to households consisting of 1 to 3 members who are already registered on the waiting list for the state social housing fund. Additionally, at least one family member must meet one of the following vulnerability conditions:
- Have a permanent Group 1 or Group 2 disability (state designations for severe disabilities),
- Have severe or profound functional limitations,
- Be over 60 years of age.
The government has also established a specific combined age threshold for households. For two-member families, their combined age must be 115 years or more. For families with three members, the combined age must total 175 years or more.
How to Apply for Assistance
Applications are currently being accepted online via the official portal at https://housing.socservice.am/. However, before submitting an electronic application, citizens are required to visit their local regional center of the Unified Social Service to officially register on the state social housing waiting list.
