It is emphasized that some categories of people — for example, veterans, the disabled, large families and low—income citizens - are provided with subsidies in the amount of at least 100 thousand rubles for home ownership on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin. In 2025, financing of up to 1 billion rubles is provided for these purposes.

The budget for social support in 2025 was allocated 5.7 billion rubles," the press service clarified, adding that the pre-gasification measures are indefinite, which means that the achieved indicators will grow.
