The Court of Accounts of the Republic of Moldova (CoARM) presented today, September 8, within the Committee for Social Protection, Health and Family of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova, the Compliance Audit Report on the implementation of the Housing Construction Project for socially vulnerable citizens.

Eduard Moroșan, Member of the CoARM, as well as by Sergiu Știrbu and Alexandru Răileanu, responsible for the audit mission, made a brief presentation of the Audit Report.

The purpose of the audit mission was to provide reasonable assurance on the compliance of the implementation of the Housing Construction Project for the socially vulnerable. In this sense, according to the project, the construction of about 700 social housing units for 2,500 vulnerable families or young families with many children, who are unable to have access to satisfactory living conditions, was expected. The cost of the project is 426 million lei.

According to the findings of the audit carried out by the CoARM, the purpose of the project was only partially achieved.

Thus, the organization, implementation and monitoring of the implementation of the Housing Construction Project for socially vulnerable layers were carried out, in some cases, in violation of legal provisions, and failure to adjust the regulatory framework to the legal led to unjustified expansion of project beneficiaries.

 As a result, ineligible persons have benefited from social housing, whose salary income exceeds the legally established limit or those who already own real estate.

At the same time, it was found that the responsible persons, within the District Councils, did not ensure the compliant registration within the accounting records of the social housing, received in property by the beneficiaries, which affected the integrity of the public patrimony.

According to the audit of the Court of Accounts, were elaborated a series of recommendations, addressed to the implementation units of the Housing Construction Project for the socially vulnerable layers, but also to several public institutions. The institutions concerned are the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development, the District Councils, the General Prosecutor's Office, but also the Presidents of districts.

Following the examination of the audit report, the members of the Social Protection, Health and Family Committee agreed on the need to request the Court of Accounts' assessment of project implementation in the other 6 out of 12 beneficiary districts of the project, which were not included in the audit area, to verify the compliance with the conditions for the allocation of social housing.

We mention that, during 2013-2021, the construction of 556 social housing units was completed, and about 2000 people benefited from living space. Another 121 homes in two districts of the republic are to be completed.
