Improvement of such mechanism should involve changing the entity authorized to assign housing subsidies, automating the assignment process and introducing the extraterritorial principle. Reforming the system of targeted state social assistance to vulnerable consumers of housing and communal services under martial law requires increased attention to guaranteeing the rights of recipients of housing subsidies and benefits.

Key words: social protection, non-returnable targeted social assistance, housing subsidies, benefits, persons with inability to work, households.

Abstract. Payment of utility bills is a significant financial problem for the majority of the country’s population.

Research of the economic, social, organizational and legal aspects of the functioning of housing subsidy programs proves the need for the next stage of their reform.
