“2.8 million families receive housing subsidies and benefits. For 9 months of this year, the state has allocated UAH 28.2 billion for these payments. This support will continue. The amount of payments for the heating season is automatically transferred by the Pension Fund. There are enough funds in the state budget,” he said.
