After the abolition of these structures are finalized, experts engaged in the Housing Committee, who supervised the project and to this day. To close the program city officials created a nonprofit partnership "Center of the construction of housing for young people." It receives at its own expense budgets, and then puts them in a shared construction or reconstruction of housing. The house on the avenue Marshal Zakharov, 39, recently moved there where twelve young families - the second in a row in which the city government has allocated an apartment program participants.

The program "Youth - affordable housing" was originally marketed as a city government a revolutionary document that will help solve the housing problems of many young families. However, for the first few days there were over two thousand hits. A total of about five thousand people have expressed their willingness to participate in the program. Life in the middle of nowhere in the near future the specialists of "Center of the construction of housing for young people" are planning to buy apartments for young families in the village and the Red Kolpino. A few lucky people will receive shelter in the Moscow region (20 apartments to the city is going to get on the Avenue of Cosmonauts and 5 - on Ordzhonikidze Street). By 2007, must be put into operation a few residential buildings in the 56th quarter of the North Coastal part of the city. True, it is unlikely young people will go there with joy - at the moment in the immediate vicinity of the site is located seaside dump. The last promise in a short time to eliminate. But, if we consider that in 1989 similar attempts have been made repeatedly (each time unsuccessfully), the prospects of gentrification of the area is still very vague. Maria Scherbakov, chairman of the Housing Committee: - Thanks to the program "Youth - affordable housing" and a half thousand young families annually will be able to improve their living conditions. Competitive selection for participation in this program in 2004 were 150 families. Some of them have already moved into new apartments, the rest will receive housing before the end of the year.

Natalia Evdokimova, member of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg: - Despite the increase in funding for the program in 2004-05, funding for the purchase of housing for young families, it is still not enough. For comparison, a similar program in Moscow spends 3 billion rubles. a year. Unfortunately, the city budget has not yet been able to spend so much money on housing for young people. The current increase in funding can only push the program. In the future a budget should be much greater.

All this makes the new scheme as transparent and reliable.
