The draft Government resolution on extending the program has been published on the federal portal of draft legal regulations.
The support measure implies granting a million rubles to a family for mortgage retirement at the birth of the third and subsequent children.
Currently, the program is being implemented in eight Far Eastern regions: in the Primorye, Kamchatka and Khabarovsk territories, Chukotka Autonomous Area, Sakhalin, Amur and Magadan regions, as well as in the Jewish Autonomous Area.
More than 5,000 families in the Far East have got the payment while the program has been in effect.
