Utilities reform lessons. Housing and communal services reform: the history of the program launch and development trends


The housing and communal services sector has been subject to various reforms for decades, but despite all the efforts being made to modernize, this industry remains ineffective. Unproductive spending of budgetary funds, the need for working tools for managing the housing stock, state and municipal monopoly, a high proportion of depreciation of the housing stock became prerequisites for the launch of the Housing and Utilities Reform program.

Launch of the Housing and Utilities Reform project

The project started in Russia in 2010, when the Government of the Russian Federation and the World Bank signed an agreement on the implementation of the corresponding program.


The implementation of reform measures is carried out by the Fund for Assistance to the Reform of the Housing and Utilities Sector, established on July 21, 2007.


This state corporation is designed to stimulate the formation of effective methods of housing management and the transition to resource-saving technologies.


At the beginning of the project, 14 cities participated:

    ten "main" ones: Bratsk, Volzhsky, Ivanovo, Naberezhnye Chelny, Nefteyugansk, Novokuibyshevsk, Orenburg, Saransk, Tula, Cheboksary;

    four "reserve" ones: Arkhangelsk, Dimitrovgrad, Pyatigorsk and Cherepovets.

The project was carried out in two stages:

    Institutional: carrying out reforms of the housing and communal complex at the expense of its own budget with the technical assistance of experts financed from the project funds.

    Investment: directing investments in the infrastructure of housing and communal services from the project funds, focusing on the investment plans of the cities.

Already during the implementation of the program, a tangible improvement in the quality of housing and communal services was achieved in all 14 cities.


For example, in the city of Naberezhnye Chelny, water supply distribution networks and pressure collectors of two sewage pumping stations were reconstructed. This made it possible to reduce the accident rate of collectors and ensure uninterrupted drainage of city wastewater.

The project for the reconstruction of heating networks was implemented in the city of Nefteyugansk. Thanks to this, the uninterrupted supply of heat energy has significantly increased by reducing heat losses, reducing the level of leaks and the general emergency rate of networks.


Examples of successful renovations can be found in any of the listed cities. The set of activities carried out significantly influenced the reform program and the housing sector in the cities participating in the program:

    almost complete elimination of arrears on social payments for housing and communal services;

    municipal plans for investments in communal infrastructure have been developed;

    the number of apartment buildings served by professional management companies has been increased;

Having received positive results and experience gained in the course of the reform, the state is developing this reform in other regions and cities of Russia.

Main directions and prospects of the housing and communal services reform

The project "Reform of housing and communal services in Russia" is aimed at implementing the following areas:

    the transition of the communal sector to market relations;

    increasing the share of participation of private business;

    stimulating competition;

    improving the quality of public services;

    liquidation of the formed monopolies in the industry;

    renovation of the housing and communal complex;

    development of the institution of an effective owner;

    overhaul of the housing stock;

    introduction and operation of energy efficient technologies;

    preservation of the social security system and support of privileged segments of the population.

In accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 13, 2006 No. 491 "On approval of the Rules for the maintenance of common property in an apartment building", an apartment building is a joint property of the owners of premises in it.


It follows from this that the entire house is in the possession of the apartment owners. They are responsible for its condition and are obliged to ensure that the overhaul is carried out in due time. To exercise these rights, the legislation endowed the owners with a wide range of powers. But in the process of privatization, a significant part of the housing stock was transferred in dilapidated form. Consequently, the owners do not have the necessary resources to carry out repairs and the appropriate skills to modernize the residential infrastructure in this state.


One of the points of this reform, as we mentioned above, is the introduction of market mechanisms into the housing and communal services system. That should subsequently lead to a transition to 100% payment for housing and communal services. As a result of the reform, citizens' spending on housing and communal services may increase by an average of 20-25%. At the same time, the system of compensation payments will continue to work for socially unprotected categories.

Disclosure standard

Now any citizen can see information about the activities of his management company and information on a particular house.


This is regulated by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of September 23, 2010 N 731, which must be fulfilled by managing organizations operating in the field of management of apartment buildings.


The Standard specifies the types of information about home management that must be posted in the public domain for residents. It is necessary to ensure the availability and safety of data for 5 years. These include:

    basic information about the organization (name, address, organizational and legal form, etc.);

    a list of houses under management and general information about each of them (address, number of floors, level of improvement, year, etc.);

    data on the work performed and the services provided;

    information about utilities;

    information about the operation of the common property of the house;

    information about the overhaul of common property, if the management company is the contractor;

    data on general meetings of home owners;

    information on oral reprimands, written orders, penalties or disqualifications (if any).

The document also lists the required sources:

    official portal Housing and communal services reform;

    stand in the office of the company.

In other words, management companies must have a website and be registered on the official website of the Housing and Utilities Reform project. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in penalties.

Reform of housing and communal services. general information

Housing and communal services reform is carried out by the government of the Russian Federation and implies the modernization of the entire housing and communal services of the country.

During the period of economic reforms, the physical deterioration of housing and communal services property has reached a fairly large size. The approximate figures are as follows:

  • Utility water supply networks - 65%.
  • Boiler houses - 55%.
  • Heating networks - 63%.
  • Water pumping stations - 65%.
  • Electrical networks - 58%.
  • Sewerage - 56%.
  • Water treatment facilities - 54%.

According to the Housing Code of the Russian Federation and the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 491 of 13.08.2006, an apartment building is a collective property of all owners of premises. It turns out that the tenants of the apartments own the house as a whole, and not only their living space. And, therefore, they must be responsible for its condition and timely carry out major repairs.

The main problem here was that the houses were transferred to the owners in an extremely deplorable state. The overhaul required huge sums that the owners did not have. Also, the tenants did not have management skills.

The main conductor of the reform was a state corporation - the Fund for Assistance to Reform of Housing and Communal Services. It was created by the decision of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 21.07.2007. 2007 We will place more detailed information concerning the work of the Fund in the second half of the article.

Organization of a homeowners' association

The Homeowners Association (HOA) is one of the forms of management of an apartment building. Essentially, HOA is an organization that provides harmonious home services. A partnership can include either one house or several blocks.

When joining an HOA, the owner undertakes to participate in the life of his home. He must attend the meetings held without fail.

To create a homeowners' partnership, 50% of the votes + at least one vote from above are required. Residents who have not joined the HOA are automatically deprived of their voting rights. However, this fact does not relieve them of their obligations to implement decisions taken at general meetings of the HOA.

To create an HOA you need:

  1. Create an initiative group. As a rule, it includes 5-6 people and a chairman.
  2. Apply to the district administration with a statement, which should indicate the points about providing them with a list of apartments, indicating the area of \u200b\u200beach of them and information about the property, as well as approving the candidacy of the Representative of the city in the future HOA to participate in the organizing meeting and further work of the partnership. In the rest of the paragraphs, you can reflect the wishes of the residents.
  3. Prepare for the meeting. Prepare and study the charter of the HOA and an approximate Minutes of the general meeting. Prepare voting sheets to determine the "Agenda". The agenda should include no more than five questions.
  4. Inform all owners about the meeting.
  5. Conduct a general meeting, during which you should choose a method of management (on your own or with the involvement of professionals) and adopt a charter.
  6. Register the HOA. To do this, you need to contact the Office of the Federal Registration Service and submit an application for state registration, the original or a certified copy of the minutes of the general meeting, the charter of the partnership in two copies and a receipt for payment of the state registration fee.
  7. Transfer the house to the management of the HOA. The house is transferred under an act of acceptance and transfer with the attachment of technical documentation for the building, in accordance with the standards of technical operation of the housing stock.
