The goal of the project "Providing housing for large foster families (DBST)" is to create safe and comfortable conditions for the residence and upbringing of orphans and children deprived of parental care in a family environment, by purchasing a residential building to accommodate a newly established family-type orphanage or a large foster family. The project is aimed at realizing the right of every child to be raised in a family, social adaptation, full development and preparation for independent life, which is consistent with the strategic priorities of the social policy of the community and the state. Methods of achieving the goal To achieve the goal, it is planned to implement the following main measures: - Purchase of a residential building that meets the established standards of area (not less than 21 m² per child and parent-educator + 10 m² per family) and requirements for technical condition, safety and improvement. - Conducting an inspection and selection of residential facilities that meet sanitary, engineering and spatial requirements for accommodating a foster or large family. - Preparation of the necessary documentation - title documents for the purchased facility, making changes to registers, registration of rights of use. - Arrangement of housing in accordance with the needs of the family and children: provision with furniture, household appliances, essential items. - Support and assistance to the foster family or DBST, including social, pedagogical and psychological support from relevant community services.

The Storozhynetsk urban territorial community is home to orphans and children deprived of parental care who need to be placed in family-type upbringing. Currently, there are only two family-type orphanages in the community, where 18 children are being raised, while another 15 children are waiting for the opportunity to be placed in a family environment. The main problem is the lack of housing stock suitable for the creation of new DBSTs or foster families. The existing houses are completely full, and the majority of potential foster parents do not have their own housing that meets the established standards (21 m² per child and parent-educator + 10 m² per family). This significantly limits the community's ability to implement a policy of deinstitutionalization and ensure the child's right to be raised in a family. The lack of housing leads to the preservation of the practice of children staying in institutional-type institutions, which negatively affects their social adaptation, psychological state and development. Thus, the community faces a gap between the number of children in need of family upbringing and the available housing resources necessary to create new DBSTs. Solutions and expected results: The main way to solve the problem is to purchase a residential building on the territory of the Storozhynetsk urban territorial community, which will meet the sanitary, technical, household and area standards for creating a family-type orphanage. The implementation of this solution will allow: - Create a new DBST or provide housing for a large foster family capable of accepting children in need of family upbringing. - Improve the living conditions and development of orphans and children deprived of parental care, providing them with a stable, safe environment. - Reduce the burden on the institutional care system by gradually reducing the number of children raised in institutions. - Expand the network of family forms of upbringing in the community and increase its social capacity in the field of children's rights protection. - Promote the implementation of the local Program for Ensuring the Right of Every Child to Grow Up in a Family Environment (2025–2027) and the implementation of the state policy of deinstitutionalization. Expected social effect: - Ensuring stable living conditions for children in need of family care. - Strengthening the role of the community as a socially oriented environment. - Forming a positive image of the community as a territory that cares for children. - Implementing the principle "every child has the right to grow up in a family."
