They plan to allocate 20 billion rubles to protect housing and communal services facilities in 2027

It is proposed to allocate 20 billion rubles in 2027 to ensure the protection, safety and safe operation of housing and communal services (HCS) facilities. This is stated in the draft federal budget for 2027 and the planning period 2028-2029, submitted by the government to the State Duma, Vedomosti reports.

Last year, no funds were allocated for these purposes, the lower house of parliament reported. A representative of the Ministry of Construction indicated that they want to spend the money on stocks of necessary materials and equipment, backup sources of power supply for heat and water supply and sanitation facilities.

According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, in 2025, 18 accidents were recorded on life support systems in Russia, which were assigned the status of an emergency situation (ES). This is almost twice as much as in 2024.

The head of the legal support of disputes in the field of housing and communal services and real estate management of the Yakovlev and Partners legal group, Sergei Sergeev, recalled that the deterioration of communal infrastructure remains one of the main problems of the industry. The pace of renewal is not enough to compensate for the obsolescence of funds, so the situation is getting worse.
