THE STATE WILL PAY THE RENT TO THE POOR

Bulgarian citizens from vulnerable groups will also be able to benefit from the rent assistance provided by the state as a measure to stimulate employment among refugees from Ukraine. This was stated in "The Day Begins" by Deputy Prime Minister for Effective Governance Kalina Konstantinova.

It is envisaged that the state will provide a monthly allowance of BGN 400 within three months, which will be targeted for the payment of rent. The aid will be paid through the employers of the new employees.

"The measure will not only be for refugees, but also for Bulgarians who need and fall into the target group - for example, who have not worked for a long time. We believe that this crisis gives us the opportunity to smooth over problems and take measures that will be for the benefit of all." said Konstantinova.

The specific parameters of the measure are currently being written. The deputy prime minister expects it to take effect in a few weeks.

In the meantime, a program is being drawn up to build children's centers to take over children from Ukraine. According to Konstantinova, they will also benefit Bulgarian parents, especially in cities where there is a crisis with places for kindergartens.
