New homes handed over to 90 eco-migrant families in Georgia’s Adjara region

Ninety eco-migrant families have been provided with newly built, fully equipped apartments in the village of Kapreshumi, in Khelvachauri municipality, western Georgia.

At the handover ceremony, Ajara Government Chair Sulkhan Tamazashvili congratulated the families on receiving what he described as modern, dignified housing. Speaking at the event, he outlined ongoing and planned social housing projects across the region and said that, once current programmes are completed, more than 2,000 families are expected to receive improved housing by 2028.

“Social housing construction is not a one-off initiative,” Tamazashvili said. “We currently have several ongoing and planned projects. Social housing infrastructure is actively being developed in Batumi, Khelvachauri and Kobuleti municipalities, and in 2026 we also plan to begin construction of a social housing project in Keda. We are continuing regional development through a responsible, principled policy focused on citizens’ needs.”

During the event, Tamazashvili and Khelvachauri Mayor Zaza Diasamidze symbolically handed over the keys to a new apartment to a member of the Bolkvadze family, one of the beneficiary households.

Representatives of the Ajara government and local self-government authorities attended the ceremony.
