The collection of applications from families who in Gallarate, in 2023, had children after the first, from the second onwards, took place between 26 February and 29 March (HERE the information released by Palazzo Borghi, also on the innovations introduced with the “Family Factor”). Now, for the Baby Cardthe time has come to take stock.
And the mayor, Andrea Cassaniexpresses his satisfaction: «We are happy with the results of the Family Factor experimentation implemented with the 2024 Baby Card. This measure, introduced in 2017 and improved every year, has been copied by many other municipalities in Lombardy and in others (such as Varese) discussions are underway to introduce it. It demonstrates how many families who usually do not have access to other forms of aid can be helped.”
«There are 48 of them – communicate Chiara AllaiWelfare Councilor – families who had their second child (and beyond) in 2023 and who received contributions from 250 to 670 euros, with an average of 430 per nucleus. A great contribution in a difficult economic phase, especially for those who have many children, a mortgage or vulnerable people at home.”
As Luigi Galluppi, councilor with responsibility for family policies: «I am very satisfied with the results obtained and the work carried out by the municipal offices. Certainly we will continue to use this new Family Factor system next year too. And we are evaluating the possibility of extending it to other services. The initiative received an important response from the families of Gallara, and we believe we have offered a significant contribution thanks to the provision of additional sums to the basic contribution of 250 euros”.
