Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze has announced that approximately 400 families with homeless status will be provided with housing by October “as promised.”

As he presented information to the public about healthcare and social programs implemented by Tbilisi City Hall between 2018-2025, the mayor stated that all projects in Tbilisi are aimed at ensuring residents “feel comfortable in the city.”

During the presentation, Kaladze discussed programs for homeless registration,  housing legalization, and assistance for those affected by cooperative housing construction, “which the municipality is actively implementing.”

“The program for legalizing living spaces is very important. People lived for decades in houses they couldn’t legalize. In 2017, we gave these families the opportunity, and hundreds of millions worth of property that was state-owned has now been transferred to these people’s ownership.

Cooperative housing construction was also a decades-old unresolved problem that no government managed to solve. We, Georgian Dream, are the team that took concrete steps,” the mayor stated.

In addition to social and healthcare programs, Kaladze also provided information about Tbilisi’s kindergartens, noting that this sector has been “significantly improved” in recent years.

“It’s our government’s achievement that kindergartens are free today. For years they were fee-based, which created significant financial pressure on families,” Kakha Kaladze noted.
