Duma passed a law giving priority in dormitories to student families with children

The Russian State Duma has passed legislation expanding social support for families with children, including student families and large families with low incomes. Key measures include priority access to dormitory accommodation and separate housing rights for student families with children, as well as extended benefit payments for large families whose incomes are slightly above the subsistence minimum. These steps signal a targeted adjustment of Russia’s family and housing support framework, with potential implications for universities, regional budgets, and social policy planning.
