The article uses a neoinstitutional approach that allows to analyze the practice of implementing housing rights of orphans and the problems faced by orphans in the implementation of their housing rights. The study identifies the most frequent violations of the housing rights of orphans, considers the court decisions, and formulates recommendations for improving the normative acts regulating the housing rights of orphans.
