    ARMENIA'S GOVERNMENT DETERMINES SOCIAL HOUSING BENEFICIARIES

    YEREVAN, August 2. /ARKA/. Armenian government approved the list of
    citizen categories entitled to public welfare homes at its meeting
    Thursday.

    The minister of labor and social affairs Artem Asatryan said the
    list comprises of four categories - orphans, socially vulnerable
    families that are guardians of under-aged, lonely pensioners with no
    job and one-parent families (if the second parent died or the first
    one adopted the child).

    The social housing program started in 2003.

    "In 2003 we had 599 orphans needing housing. Under the program 236
    of them received homes", the minister said.

    Armenia's premier Tigran Sargsyan instructed the minister to get NGOs
    involved in the public welfare home program to avoid misuses.

    As of the end of June, a total of about 114,000 families (418,000
    people) were receiving social benefits and one-time payments.-0-
