The Lombardy Region allocates 23.8 million euros to help poor families or those in proven economic difficulty who live in public housing. This is a solidarity contribution intended for families who find themselves in economic conditions such as not to allow them to bear the costs of social rental, i.e. the sum between the rent and the costs for condominium services (central heating, cleaning of common areas, maintenance of greenery).
The measure was approved by the regional council on the proposal of the councilor for housing and social housing, Paolo Franco. The resources are directly entrusted to the Aler and the Municipalities, i.e. the bodies that own the public housing.
Help for vulnerable groups
“With resources from its own budget – states councilor Franco – the Lombardy Region provides fundamental support for the vulnerable sections of the population: helping them is absolutely our priority, as also demonstrated by the increase in funds allocated. Our response is , the result of consultation and sharing with all those responsible for the match. We help those who are unable to pay the expenses due to objective and proven situations. The benefit intervenes to support those who live in Aler homes and those who live in the homes of Municipalities, offering overall protection for honest citizens who need to feel close to the institutions. The amount of resources higher than the previous year testifies to the great and constant commitment of the Lombardy Region to support housing for the most needy.” .
The approved act has a total value of 23.8 million euros, of which 14.3 million destined for the Aler and 6.6 million destined for the Municipalities. The funds were allocated proportionally to the assets managed by the institutions, while 2.9 million euros are already available to the Municipalities as a ‘residual share’ from previous years: in this sense the Region requests that this be done quickly.
Overall, the total resources are approximately 900 thousand euros higher than those allocated last year.
