The article examines the stages of decentralization reform in Ukraine, which began in 2014 after the Revolution of Dignity. The developed normative documents are analyzed, namely the Concept of reform of local self-government and territorial organization of power in Ukraine (April 1, 2014), laws of Ukraine «On cooperation of territorial communities» (June 17, 2014), «On voluntary association of territorial communities») and the Budget and Tax Codes. The article analyzes the data of the State Treasury Service of Ukraine on the account of the number of created communities and the number of able OTGs. Methods for determining affluent communities have been studied. Describes ways to bring together disadvantaged communities to solve current and future problems. Decentralization reform has become a catalyst for the development of all territorial units of Ukraine, as local authorities have been given more powers to solve all current problems, financial independence creates conditions for solving the problems of functioning and socio-economic development of the region. A number of problems have arisen in the way of reform implementation, one of which is the failure of the community. That is why it is important to study the concept of incompetent community, because as a result a large number of communities will not be able to ensure the implementation of such powers as public transport, maintenance of nursing homes (the number of which will continue to grow), drinking water in short supply, maintenance of hospitals, the need for which will increase due to the aging population.
