During the period under review, housing problems in the Chechen Republic were solved successfully and consistently. We established the extent of increase in housing provision, the increase in the number of services provided and their coverage of housing stock of the Republic. The paper identifies existing problems and potential opportunities for their solution. Conclusions.
