Government of the Azores allocates 4 million Euros to leasing under "Families with Future" Programme
The Regional Secretary for Social Solidarity said today in Horta that the Plan for 2013 estimates an allocation of four million Euros to leasing under the "Families with Future" Programme.
"We are aware that it is a very direct way of supporting families," Piedade Lalanda stated, adding that leases "vary between 180 and 260 Euros" under the leasing support programme.
The Regional Secretary for Social Solidarity spoke at the end of the hearing at the Committee on General Policy of the Legislative Assembly of the Azores on the proposed Medium-term Guidelines, Regional Annual Plan and Regional Budget for 2013.
"Struggling families who benefit from this income support can better face the difficulties, which allows them to manage their scarce resources to meet other needs," said Piedade Lalanda.
