A large number of citizens, particularly widows and divorced women, are seeking information about the conditions and documents required to apply for social housing units. Following the announcement by the Social Housing and Mortgage Finance Fund regarding the delivery details for previously offered housing units, the process for securing a unit has become a crucial issue for these groups, as well as for pensioners.
To ensure a smooth application process for a social housing unit, the following essential documents must be submitted:
- Marriage, Divorce, or Death Certificate: Applicants must provide official documents proving their marital status, such as a marriage, divorce, or death certificate.
- Alimony Document (for Divorced Women): Divorced applicants must include a copy of the alimony document they receive.
- Official Documents Proving Family Status: Photos of official documents that confirm the applicant’s social status and the number of family members are required.
- National ID Copy: A photocopy of the applicant’s national ID card is mandatory.
- Recent Utility Bill: Applicants must submit a recent utility bill (e.g., electricity, gas, or water) as proof of their current residence.
- Family Record: A family record showing the applicant’s details must be provided, with the exception of single individuals. This is particularly relevant for widows and divorced women.
- Pension Statement (for Widows and Pensioners): A certified printout of the applicant’s monthly pension details from the Social Insurance Authority is required.
- Document for Refund of Previous Housing Deposit (if applicable): If the applicant previously applied for a social housing unit without being allocated one, they must provide a document confirming the refund of the deposit from the earlier application.
By submitting these documents, applicants can streamline the process of securing a suitable housing unit that meets the specified requirements and guidelines.
