Belarus to create housing for utilities debtors

Belarus's Housing Minister Uladzimir Belakhvostau said that the government plans to create a housing fund for those who are evicted for not paying their utilities bills.

A draft housing code to be reviewed by the parliament during the spring session envisages eviction of utiltities debtors, shifting them to a low-comfort housing.

According to the minister, 8 percent of households have not paid their utilities bills for three months, writes Zvyazda newspaper.
