After moving to the Vitebsk district of Liozna young specialist Elena Abramova has registered in the dorm of "Red October" on Ave Lyudnikova, 11 (known as the "puck"), which to this day holds a bed. But when the child was born, raised the question of eviction, as with a toddler in this dorm is impossible, and in ownership of a single mother is no shelter no. With such a problem faced by many young people from other cities and especially families, who are unable to rent an apartment.
When the worker who went on maternity leave, the company turned to the "Marco " to help in the search for housing, colleagues did not even know the girl. She changed thin. Happiness of his son's birth equilibrated befell her worries and problems. Lonely mom hope no one. It so happened that the father appeared indifferent to his fate, parental support and Elena has not.
In the native plant said they would write a petition to any organization which has on its balance dorm ( at its JV "Marco" is not). But for this girl most need to know where there are places and where to send such a request. Contracts, which would give an opportunity to just get on the waiting dorm "Marco" as with any company did not enter. Thus began the ordeal that is still going on. And this one-year old boy in his arms, which leave no one.
"It was in the summer at a reception at the deputy chairman of the executive committee Dmitry Sherikova promised help. But in the management of housing policy at the moment is not encouraged: told in dorms located in the city municipal property, there is no space. And also sent to independent search - said Elena Abramova. - So when I have time, I go through all possible addresses and ask. But it seems that we have more in dormitories for students and scholars, not working. And as for the mother or family with a child at all to find housing unreal. All seats are occupied, and even have waiting lists of their employees..."
In fact, educational institutions belong to only 34 of the 120 dorms available in Vitebsk. Companies and organizations - 78. Gradually, the city municipal property were transferred to another 8 dormitories (street 4th Tiraspol, 9 and 13 etc., etc. Lyudnikova, 4, str. Lazo, 25, Pobeda, 7, Maskouski Avenue, 29, str. Zarecznaja, 3, str. Tereshkova, 16, k 2), which enterprises could no longer contain, because of lack of funds.
In fairness, many dorms its employees in comparison with residents from across the city less than half. Not surprisingly, the leaders believe this property ballast, which bring some losses, and convey to the City dream. But getting rid of such expenditure is not easy. Must be made in building renovated, and deductions for his tenants are not allowed. Enterprise need to do everything at their own expense.
In Vitebsk dorms are approximately 28.5 thousand people. But statistics on how many of them are single, and many families, one can not give. "It is to be recognized separately at each enterprise and organization, - explained the head of the executive committee of the housing policy Areschenko Marina. - We do not have such data, and as we have no information about the dorms, which inhabit with children, especially the notion of "small families" in the housing legislation does. I will only add that, if necessary and with the consent of the local executive and administrative bodies in dormitories intended to stay single citizens can be allocated space for families. At the same time they should be located on separate floors or in separate sections."
However, Elena Abramova these dry references to the law can be of little help in the search. Fortunately, the management of "Red October" reacted to the situation of a young mother with understanding and searching time she was allowed to stay at the dorm. But first, it's only temporary, and secondly, in their small Sergei year and one month is still nowhere to be registered.
Of course, for the sake of her baby girl does not give up and continues to search. Clearly, the people in need in Vitebsk lot. But I want to believe that those who are actually able to do something to help Elena in this situation, help, and will not hide behind the argument "she is not alone".
