Various state protection measures for disabled people are provided for by Law 181-FZ of 1995. One of them is providing housing for people with disabilities. This function is assumed by the state. Disabled people and families with such children can be provided with premises under a social lease agreement or as property. In many regions, instead of housing, those in need receive subsidies for individual construction or the purchase of an apartment.
Which disabled people are entitled to housing?
Disability itself is not a reason for obtaining an apartment. Based on Art. 17 of Law 181-FZ, a citizen must be recognized as in need of improved conditions and register. To do this, you need to contact the local administration, which will conduct an inspection of his living space and make a decision on the need to register.
In accordance with Art. 51 of the Housing Code, the need to improve conditions is for citizens who:
- provided with an area of 1 family member less than the established norm;
- live with relatives who have serious illnesses;
- do not have their own premises under a rental agreement;
- live in an emergency room.
The procedure for allocating housing depends on the reasons for receiving disability, the date of registration as a person in need, as well as the region of residence of the citizen, while the disability group does not play a role. In addition, the state of health and other circumstances are taken into account, namely, his rehabilitation program. For example, it may require the presence of ramps, elevators, or accommodation no higher than the 2nd floor. It is with these requirements in mind that the administration must allocate an apartment to the disabled person, otherwise he may refuse the proposed option without losing his right to improve conditions.
If the disabled person was registered before 2005
In this case, the form and procedure for obtaining an apartment is established by the legislation of the region. For example, in Moscow, people with disabilities are provided with municipal housing under social rental contracts. In many areas, instead of allocating an apartment, they issue a cash payment for its purchase or construction of their own home. Its size is calculated taking into account the number of citizens who are entitled to this benefit, the standard of living space per person, which is 18 m2, and the average cost of 1 m2 of total area in a given region. To receive a subsidy, a personalized certificate is issued.
These standards apply to all categories of disabled people, including military personnel, employees of internal affairs bodies and the Federal Penitentiary Service, firefighters, and disabled combat veterans who were injured due to injury during service. Family members of a deceased disabled person belonging to these categories can also apply for housing or subsidies from the state.
Queue for an apartment for disabled people of group 1
In general, none of this is needed.
A disabled person has the right to purchase a plot without bidding. 2. I am disabled, group 1, and so is my grandmother. My grandmother and I decided that I would instead participate in the privatization of her share in the house. I called a lawyer to represent my interests in court, but he said to check the housing for more owners. I wrote to the city mayor’s office and they replied that my late grandfather was still in the house there, and he had a share there.
I thought that due to the death of the legal successor, everything goes to the grandmother by direct inheritance, but it turns out not. And that’s why I didn’t enter into inheritance even though I could. Question: what application should I make to the court and what should I write in it?
Here is the answer to my question: With a claim for recognition of property rights by inheritance.
And my father is still alive, so he will be against it (he is very mercantile). Moreover, he is registered in this house together with his grandmother.
Is he in line in front of me? Here is another answer: If your father is the son of a deceased grandfather, then he has the right to inheritance. Is there any way to get around this fact through the court, because: 1-he has housing, but I don’t, 2-my grandmother wants to give me her share, 3-he is an absolutely mercantile person and 4-he doesn’t care about my fate ?
Hello. There are a lot of “inconsistencies” in your question. Let's. Understand. 1. If you decide that you will participate in privatization, it means that your apartment is not privatized, that is, it does not belong to either your grandparents or you, but belongs to the municipality.
So? 2. If the answer to question 1 is YES, then there can be no talk of any shares in the apartment or any inheritance. No one entered into an inheritance of this apartment and could not enter into it; there is no need to talk about any legal succession, except for the re-conclusion of a social tenancy agreement and the re-registration of a personal account.
Residential premises provided under a social tenancy agreement are not part of the inheritance mass, are not inherited and are not divided into shares. 3. If the apartment is municipally owned, filing a claim in court to recognize ownership rights through inheritance is a waste of time.
If a disabled person is registered after 01/01/2005
Citizens who have been registered as needing improved conditions since 2005 receive housing on a first-come, first-served basis.

Disability occurs due to a congenital disorder in the body or an acquired pathology. As a result, such a person becomes unable to fulfill a social role in society.
Recognition of disability is carried out by a special medical commission, which you can get to on your own or by referral from the pension fund/attending physician.
After being assigned the status of “disabled,” a person has the right not only to receive housing on preferential terms, but also to apply for other types of government support: financial assistance, reduction of the tax burden, and transportation benefits.

All people with disabilities, regardless of their group, have the right to housing.
The legislation provides guarantees both for citizens suffering from severe chronic diseases and for those whose disabilities are related to vision.
For children

For pensioners
Pensioners with disabilities also apply for housing with the following conditions:

The family of a disabled child defended the right to receive housing out of turn
The child was officially recognized as disabled due to a disease that makes it impossible for citizens to live together in the same apartment, which, according to the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, gave his family the right to receive residential premises out of turn under a social tenancy agreement. In addition, two years later, the mother of a disabled child received the status of low-income and in need of improved housing conditions, since the private house that the family occupied turned out to be unsuitable for living. But, despite all these reasons, officials did not provide people with housing out of turn.
In the interests of the child, the local prosecutor's office went to court. The court did not accept the arguments of representatives of the city administration that in 2012 there was no money in the budget for the purchase of residential premises, and that there was no reason to provide living space to the father of the family out of turn, satisfying the demands of the prosecutor's office.
