In the article the features of the appointment of housing subsidies in Ukraine in accordance with the "new" and "old" procedure. Analyzed main indicators of the implementation and financing of the program of housing subsidies in Ukraine. The main problems in the existing procedure of subsidizing the population in housing and communal services. The basic directions of transformation of the system of social protection of citizens in the housing sector in the context of balancing the social responsibility of the population and the state.

The urgency of this topic is unmistakable and due to the fact that it is undergoing significant changes to date. Namely, the provision of a housing subsidy today has a new form. The article determines what kind of social assistance it offers, such as state aid for the payment of housing and communal services, discloses and justifies the procedure for receiving citizens of this type of state social assistance provided by the state, which cares for the needy citizens and their family members. Article 46 of the Constitution of Ukraine specifies the right of a person to social protection at the expense of budgetary funds. In accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Housing and Communal Services”, adopted in 2017 by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, it noted that the benefits and subsidies for the payment of housing and communal services from January 1, 2019 are paid to the consumer in cash and in the manner determined by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. The important issue, in this case, is that such assistance for the payment of housing and communal services should have targeted use and was directed specifically to pay for such services. The article analyzes the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 1176 in which we can see the mechanism of the targeted use of budgetary funds provided by the state to provide subsidies to the population. Therefore, a fair decision is that if the family has conscientiously referred to the use of residential communications and saved energy resources, water, heat energy, gas, by the results of the heating season, it can use at its own discretion and for its own purposes the balance of funds remaining as a result of economical use and savings of housing the subsidy that is on her account. Such a form of savings is interesting primarily for the family itself, which should stimulate an individual, who has a right to receive such a subsidy, reasonable and rational use of residential communications provided by the state. From 2019, subsidies were provided to citizens for the payment of housing and communal services in cash in two models of monetization, which operate simultaneously: 1) transfer of funds at the central level to a bank account in state bank “Oschadbank” with a special regime of use, followed by their referral for payment of housing and communal services; 2) the provision of housing subsidies in cash directly to the recipient. It reveals an understanding of monetization the concept. Monetization is a process of transition from the transfer of subsidies in the cashless form to the accounts of providers of housing and communal services to the provision of subsidies to citizens in cash. The purpose of such monetization is to create a transparent mechanism for providing housing subsidies and to encourage citizens to make economical, reasonable consumption. It is determined that today two models of monetization are introduced: cashless money form and cash form. Upon receipt of any information related to the appointment of a housing subsidy, the recipients of the subsidy should apply to the social protection bodies of citizens.

The relevance of determining the theoretical and methodological determinants of the Robert von Moll’s concept of the social state is due to the need to determine the patterns of evolution of ideas about the state and law, as well as the need to assess the ability to use the potential of the Robert von Moll’s theoretical and legal heritage, his predecessors and contemporaries to identify the optimal model of the social state. Modern Russia attempts to build such state. The proclamation and consolidation of Russia as a social state governed by the rule of law at the constitutional level requires attention both to the experiments carried out in social and legal development, and to the practices of social reform, and also to those ideas that have not yet been embodied. The ideas of European scholars regarding the evolution of the state-legal organization of society in the early modern period, based on which Robert von Mohl (1799–1875) developed original concepts of a social state and a state governed by the rule of law are discussed in the article. An analysis of the state of European political and legal thought and identification of the factors that have a significant impact on the development of Robert von Mohl’s doctrine of a social state governed by the rule of law are the purposes of the scientific article. The methodological basis of the study was the dialectical-materialistic, general scientific (historical, systemic) and special (historical-legal, comparativelegal) methods of legal research. The method of reconstruction and interpretation of legal ideas had great importance. As a result of the study, it was concluded that in the first half of the 19th century in European political and legal thought various approaches was formed to consider the problems of social protection and how to resolve them. The development trend of European political science became the transition from ideas and principles formed in the conditions of police states and enlightened absolutism to the ideas of a state governed by the rule of law (constitutional) that protects the rights and freedoms of a citizen. At the same time, it was a question of the rights and freedoms of only a part of the population: the proletariat growing in number and significance was not always evaluated as an independent social stratum. The axiological principles of state justification have also changed. Rights and utility principle became dominant principles. In the first half of the 19th century the social issue as an independent scientific problem of the European political and legal thought was not posed and not systematically developed. Questions about the social essence of the state, the specifics of the implementation of the state social function, the features of public administration in the new stage of socio-economic development of society predetermined the emergence of the idea of a social state. This idea was comprehensively characterized in the Robert von Mohl’s works. He went down in the history of political and legal thought as founder of the concepts of social and governed by the rule of law state.

In modern conditions, the social component of business is becoming increasingly important both for organizations and for society as a whole, since, as many years of experience show, those enterprises that develop their socially-oriented activities are more trusted by the state, investors, counterparties, creditors and other business partners. The social responsibility of business helps minimize the negative impact of the enterprise's production activities, the formation of an atmosphere of trust, predictability and common values in society, thanks to which, business becomes economically and socially more sustainable. In this regard, relevant issues are related to the assessment of the level of social responsibility of the enterprise, determining the main directions of social development of companies. The economic essence of the concept “corporate social responsibility” has been studied and specified in the article, the main directions of the corporate social responsibility of business assessment are examined.

Summary the article has analyzed the existing scientific and methodological approaches to assessing the level of social security of the state. It was revealed that they differ because: scientists include various components that form social security; they use various indicators and calculation methods; have various aspects of both generalization and practical direction. It was revealed that most often the components of social security include: safety of life, health, social protection and aspects of social and labor relations. The methods that are most often used in calculating the level of social security were considered. It was proved that in assessment, the selection of indicators that pose a threat, is the difficult task. It was revealed that there is no legally approved methodology for assessing the social security of the state. The use of various social security assessment methodologies was analyzed. Emphasis was placed on the selection of indicators used in these techniques. It was concluded that for assessing the social security of the state, an integral indicator is used most often. At the same time, scientists prefer their own set of indicators. The author’s definition of «social security» was presented, which allowed the formation of four components of the state’s social security (life, poverty, health and education). It was established that the choice of indicators for assessing the social security of the state should cover a retrospective period and should be based on both reporting and calculated data. A hierarchical model of an integral indicator of state social security was proposed. There was defined a set of indicators for each of proposed component. The following algorithm has been proposed for assessing the integral indicator of state social security: the formation of the components of social security and the definition of indicative indicators for each of the components; formation of a database; determination of an integral indicator; determining the influence of each component on the change in the integral indicator; interpretation of indicators; determining the sustainability of hazardous trends.
