In Belarus, the working conditions for private social boarding houses have been changed. The authorities plan to involve them in providing social services within the framework of state procurement. The corresponding conditions are defined in a government resolution, which aims to promote the development of the social services market and make them more accessible.

The state has defined categories of citizens who can receive residential social care. These include lonely elderly people, as well as lonely disabled people of groups I and II — with their consent.
For commercial organizations that will fulfill the state order, a cost limit for social services is set. The state will not purchase them at a price higher than the tariff approved by the regional executive committees or the Minsk City Executive Committee.
Private boarding houses participating in the state order may receive certain benefits from local authorities. They may have their rent reduced for real estate used for providing social services. They may also receive a preferential right to purchase, without tenders, real estate that is in municipal ownership and is unused or used inefficiently.
Financial support is also provided for commercial organizations that offer residential social services. They will be able to use a special credit product for the implementation of socially significant projects, provided the established requirements are met.
In addition, the bodies for labor, employment, and social protection will assist private organizations in sending their employees for training in care skills, as well as in the requirements for the content and quality of social services.
Separately, the resolution regulated the issue of medical care for people residing in private boarding houses. They will be able to receive medical care in state polyclinics and hospitals, and the payment for such services will be covered by the budget.
