Georgia’s Ministry of Health has issued an order establishing the conditions for a new program under which internally displaced persons (IDPs) can receive cash compensation instead of state-provided housing. The payment amounts to GEL 10,000 per family member.
Under the order signed by Health Minister Mikheil Sarjveladze, compensation must be paid within 45 calendar days after the application period closes.
To qualify, families must not have previously benefited from any state program providing long-term housing for IDPs. The family composition declared in the application must also match the actual situation established through monitoring.
Eligible families must submit a special application to the relevant agency under the ministry. The responsible commission will determine application deadlines and the number and order of families subject to monitoring, based on annual budget allocations.
After verification, the applications will be reviewed and a final administrative decision issued. Families whose applications are rejected will be notified in writing.
