According to the minister, similar projects are being carried out in parallel in several cities of Georgia, as a result of which approximately 2,700 more displaced families will receive new apartments in the near future. The mentioned projects, including the 280 million GEL Tbilisi project and the "Go to the Village" or "House in the Village" programs, aim to improve the living conditions of displaced families. 1TV+2

Mikheil Sarjveladze noted that these projects are a confirmation of the state's care for displaced persons and not just the fulfillment of an obligation. According to the minister, the funds allocated for the resettlement of displaced persons significantly exceed the 2012 budget. 1TV+2
